Networksaffects
Networksaffects is a term used in network science to describe the effects that the structure and dynamics of networks have on processes across complex systems. It focuses on how the pattern of connections among nodes shapes the flow of information, resources, and influence, as well as the resilience and efficiency of the system. The central idea is that outcomes depend not only on the components involved but also on how they are interconnected.
Key concepts include topology features such as network size, degree distribution, average path length, clustering, modularity,
Domains: In social networks, networksaffects helps explain information spread, opinion formation, and the distribution of social
Methods and challenges: Researchers use graph-theoretic metrics, diffusion and contagion models, and agent-based simulations to study
Applications and implications: Understanding networksaffects supports the design of robust infrastructures, effective information campaigns, and targeted
