The objective of this course is to provide tools for a better understanding of networks, in the broad sense of the word, from communication networks which underlie the Internet to social networks (online or not).

The aim is to propose:

  • models and phenomenon of interest,
  • algorithmic methods for their control (ideally decentralized),
  • mathematics tools to analyse these systems' behavior and performance.
