introduction to complex networks metabolic networks

what systems can be modeled as networks?

items are coupled pairwise the network is relatively sparse (the average degree is constant) there is a dynamic system on the network the time scale of this dynamics is faster than the dynamics of network evolution

what is network science?

Constructing relevant measures of network structure. Measuring structure of real networks, and elucidating correlations between the quantities. Why do real networks have the structure they have? Modeling the evolution of networks. How does the topology affect dynamic systems on the network. How can we control network topology to get some desirable dynamic property.

modularity and robustness

distributed robustness (A. Wagner): In distributed robustness, many parts of a system contribute to its function, but all of these parts have different roles. When one part fails or is changed through mutations, other parts can compensate for this failure, but not simply by standing in for the failed part.
