In this article, I discuss some recent ideas in complex systems on the topic of networks,
contained in or inspired by three recent complex systems books. The general science of …

We consider the problem of detecting communities or modules in networks, groups of
vertices with a higher-than-average density of edges connecting them. Previous work …

Formal models used to study the resilience of social-ecological systems have not explicitly

It's no secret that the world is shrinking. The “death of distance” has had a profound impact
on invention, innovation, and business, as many before us have noted. 1 Historically …

While current studies on complex networks focus on systems that change relatively slowly in
time, the structure of the most visited regions of the web is altered at the time scale from …

The fundamental challenge in the social sciences is moving from complicated correlations to
useful prediction. Progress usually reflects an interplay between theory, data, and tools. Six …
