Complex Structures in Complex Networks

. Abstract Book of the XXIII IUPAP International Conference on Statistical Physics, Genova, Italy, (9-13 July 2007)

Abstract

Networks are widely used in the biological, physical, and social sciences as a concise mathematical representation of the topology of systems of interacting components. Understanding the structure of these networks is one of the outstanding challenges in the study of complex systems. Many simple forms of structure in networks have been described and quantified, but it is possible for networks also to contain more complex structural features, including patterns and correlations on many different scales. This talk will describe some new methods for revealing structural features of networks in an automated fashion and give examples of their application to a variety of real-world networks.
