CSCI 639 - Network Theory

Covers recent research on the structure and analysis of networks, and on models and algorithms that abstract their key properties. Three main topics are network analysis and mining (e.g., community detection, degree distribution), design of networks (e.g., small-world and scale-free models), and networks as computational models (e.g., disease spread, fuzzy cognitive maps). Application of research tools in network theory to work on open problems (e.g. in social networks, biological networks or telecommunication networks), and extensive programming through research experience. Extensive laboratory work.
