Network science: Understanding the internal organization of complex systems (invited talk)

Research output: Contribution to Book/Report typesConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

Systems as diverse as the World Wide Web, Internet or the cell are described by highly interconnected networks with amazingly complex topology. Recent studies indicate that these networks are the result of self-organizing processes governed by simple but generic laws, resulting in architectural features that makes them much more similar to each other than one would have expected by chance. I will discuss the order characterizing our interconnected world and its implications to network robustness. I will also discuss a recently developed analytical framework to study the controllability of an arbitrary complex network, identifying the set of driver nodes whose time-dependent control can guide the system's dynamics.
