Network Models for Data Science Theory, Algorithms, and Applications

In recent years, the science of “networks” has become a very popular research topic and a growth area in many different disciplines. Two journals, Social Networks (first published in 1978) and Network Science (first published in 2013), have appeared that focus on network theory and applications. In its inaugural issue, the journal Network Science defined network science as the “study of the collection, management, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of relational data,” and noted that the more one learns about networks, the more one sees networks everywhere.
