Multilayer Networks
In most natural and engineered systems, a set of entities
interact with each other in complicated patterns that can encompass
multiple types of relationships, change in time and include other types of
complications. Such systems include multiple subsystems and layers of
connectivity, and it is important to take such ?multilayer? features into
account to try to improve our understanding of complex systems.
Consequently, it is necessary to generalize ?traditional? network theory
by developing (and validating) a framework and associated tools to study
multilayer systems in a comprehensive fashion. The origins of such efforts
date back several decades and arose in multiple disciplines, and now the
study of multilayer networks has become one of the most important
directions in network science. In this talk, I will give an introduction
to multilayer networks.
