Multilayer Networks in a Nutshell

Understand

Complex systems are characterized by many interacting units that give rise to emergent behavior.

• A particularly advantageous way to study these systems is through the analysis of the networks that encode the interactions among the system's constituents.
• During the last two decades, network science has provided many insights in natural, social, biological and technological systems.
• However, real systems are more often than not interconnected, with many interdependencies that are not properly captured by single layer networks.
