| Network science is a new and emerging scientific discipline
that examines the interconnections among diverse physical or
engineered networks, information networks, biological networks,
cognitive and semantic networks, and social networks. This field
of science seeks to discover common principles, algorithms and
tools that govern network behavior. The National Research
Council defines Network Science as "the study of network
representations of physical, biological, and social phenomena
leading to predictive models of these phenomena." Background and
history Edit The study of networks has emerged in diverse
disciplines as a means of analyzing complex relational data. The
earliest known paper in this field is the famous Seven Bridges

foundation of graph theory, a branch of mathe
