verkostotieteestä
Verkostotieteestä, often translated as network science, is an interdisciplinary field that studies complex networks. These networks are abstract representations of systems composed of individual units, called nodes, and the connections between them, called edges. Network science aims to understand the structure, function, and evolution of these interconnected systems across a wide range of domains.
The field draws upon concepts and methodologies from disciplines such as sociology, physics, computer science, biology,
Central to network science are concepts like degree distribution, clustering coefficients, path lengths, and community detection.
Network science provides a powerful framework for analyzing complex systems and has found applications in diverse
