Introducing networks:
a one-meeting short practical course on network methods

December 8, 5:10 pm, TIGY Room, Nador utca 11, CEU.

The
aim of this short (100 minute long) practical meeting is to give six
examples of application for network science, with short explanations of
the methods used. The six examples are:

• The robustness of terrorist networks
• Species extinctions and food webs
• Coauthorship networks and academic success
• Vulnerabilities in energy networks
• Global economic networks
• Cancer cells and tumor growth networks

In connection with these topical areas, we discuss a variety of methods:

Visualizing
network graphs, identifying cohesive groups, tracing the evolution of
network structures, analyzing inequalities of power in networks.
