| '''Network science''' is an academic field which studies [[complex network]]s such as [[telecommunication network]]s, [[computer network]]s, [[biological network]]s, cognitive and [[semantic network]]s, and [[social network]]s, considering distinct elements or actors represented by ''nodes'' (or ''vertices'') and the connections between the elements or actors as ''links'' (or ''edges''). The field draws on theories and methods including [[graph theory]] from mathematics, [[statistical mechanics]] from physics, [[data mining]] and [[information visualization]] from computer science, [[inferential statistics|inferential modeling]] from statistics, and [[social structure]] from sociology.

− | 网络科学(Network Science)是一个研究复杂网络的学术领域,如通讯网络,计算机网络,生物网络,认知和语义网络,以及社会网络,主要由节点(顶点)表示不同元素或参与者,由连边表示元素或参与者之间的联系。这个领域的理论和方法包括数学的图理论,物理学的统计力学,计算机科学的数据挖掘和信息可视化,统计学的推理建模,社会学的社会结构。 美国国家研究委员会(The United States National Research Council)将网络科学定义为“研究物理、生物和社会现象的网络表征,从而得出这些现象的预测模型。” [1] | + | 网络科学(Network Science)是一个研究复杂网络的学术领域,如通讯网络,计算机网络,生物网络,认知和语义网络,以及社会网络,主要由节点(顶点)表示不同元素或参与者,由连边表示元素或参与者之间的联系。该领域借鉴了数学中的图论,物理学中的统计力学,计算机科学中的数据挖掘和信息可视化,统计学中的推理建模和社会学中的社会结构等理论和方法。 美国国家研究委员会(The United States National Research Council)将网络科学定义为“研究物理、生物和社会现象的网络表征,从而得出这些现象的预测模型。” [1] |
