The power of any kind of network approach lies in the ability to simplify a complex system so
that one can better understand its function as a whole. Sometimes it is beneficial, however …

Complex network theory (CNT) has been providing the platform to simulate, analyze, and
visualize different complex interdependent networks. Despite the successes of simulating …

Many real-world networks represent dynamic systems with interactions that change over
time, often in uncoordinated ways and at irregular intervals. For example, university students …

Abstract Structure of real networked systems, such as social relationship, can be modeled as
temporal networks in which each edge appears only at the prescribed time. Understanding …

The body of literature addressing the phenomenon related to social networking services
(SNSs) has grown rather fast recently. Through a systematic and quantitative approach, this …

The concept of social dominance has been used in a plethora of studies to assess animal
behaviour and relationships between individuals for nearly a century. Nevertheless, a …

In this paper I introduce a framework for modeling temporal communication networks and
dynamical processes unfolding on such networks. The framework originates from the (new) …

In social network research, one of the most important analysis is community detection. Fuzzy
uncertainty appears clearly when modeling real situations by means of networks …

A link stream is a set of quadruplets (b, e, u, v) meaning that a link exists between u and v
from time b to time e. Link streams model many real-world situations like contacts between …

Legal scholarship can pursue various objectives. It may aim to analyze what the law is and
how it should be understood, to evaluate existing rules, to understand the law as a social …
