About Network Science
Network Science is a new and emerging scientific discipline that examines the interconnections among diverse physical, informational, biological, cognitive, and social networks. This field of science seeks to discover common principles, algorithms and tools that govern network behavior. The National Research Council defines Network Science as “the organized knowledge of networks based on their study using the scientific method.” In this context, network visualization brings a complementary way to statistical analysis to discover, extract and classify new patterns in network structure and data.
