Many data science problems can be viewed as a study of some properties of complex networks in which nodes represent the entities that are being investigated, and edges represent relations between these entities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these networks (for example, Instagram and Facebook online social networks), nodes not only contain some useful information (such as the userâs profile, photos, tags) but are also internally connected to other nodes (relations based on follower requests, similar usersâ behavior, age, geographic location). Such networks are often large-scale, decentralized, and evolve dynamically over time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMining complex networks to understand the principles governing the organization and the behavior of such networks is crucial for a broad range of fields of study, including information and social sciences, economics, biology, and neuroscience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe field has seen significant advancements since the first edition was published.
