Research Areas

Networks

Network science studies how networks -- connections between humans, machines, data, and other elements -- communicate information. Networks of humans - be they physical or virtual organizations, communities, groups -- and individuals generate and consume information. Networks of machines may generate and disseminate information. Research in this area looks at how information is communicated within networks, as well as a network's reliability, latency, quality, and more.
