When the TCP/IP suite of telecommunication protocols was introduced in 1974, it suddenly became possible for computer networks using different hardware and software to communicate with one another—to internetwork—creating what we now know as the internet. On a related note, many of the approximately 13,000 proteins found in fruit flies interact with at least one other protein. Among these, smaller groups can be found in which each protein interacts with most of the others. It may not be immediately obvious what fruit flies have to do with the internet (aside from both being found on apples). The connection is this: as with many different kinds of networks, both the internet and protein interaction networks have smaller sub-networks with both internal structure and external relationships. In network science, these groups...

You're reading from Network Science with Python and NetworkX Quick Start Guide
Edward L. Platt creates technology for communities and communities for technology. He is currently a researcher at the University of Michigan School of Information and the Center for the Study of Complex Systems. He has published research on large-scale collective action, social networks, and online communities. He was formerly a staff researcher at the MIT Center for Civic Media. He contributes to many free/open source software projects, including tools for media analysis, network science, and cooperative organizations. He has also done research on quantum computing and fault tolerance. He has an M.Math in Applied Mathematics from the University of Waterloo, as well as B.S degrees in both Computer Science and Physics from MIT.
