Mathematical framework prioritizes key patterns to accelerate scientific discovery
Washington DC (SPX) Jul 11, 2016
Networks are mathematical representations to explore and understand diverse, complex systems-everything from military logistics and global finance to air traffic, social media, and the biological processes within our bodies. In each of those systems, a hierarchy of recurring, meaningful internal patterns-such as molecules and proteins interacting inside cells, and capacitors and resistors operating within integrated circuits-determines the functions or behaviors of those systems. The larger and mo ... read more
