Contents
- Applications of network models such as social networks, biological interaction networks.
- Algorithms and complexity considerations for computational problems in network analysis, such as computing measures of centrality, clustering networks, querying networks, enumerating subnetworks
- Random models for complex networks
- Advanced network models: temporal graphs, multilayer networks
Qualification Goals
Students can model various issues using networks and formulate various analysis tasks as concrete computational problems. For these computational problems, they can select or design efficient algorithms or show that such algorithms do not exist according to current thinking.
Prerequisites
The following module is required: Algorithms and Data Structures. In addition, successful participation in the module „Effiziente Algorithmen“ (Efficient Algorithms) is recommended.
