In the ever-evolving landscape of engineering, the fusion of network science and graph theories has emerged as a dynamic force, revolutionizing the way we represent, design, model, and optimize complex systems. Networks, defined by nodes and edges, are particularly effective for modeling the interactions and interdependencies among individual entities in complex systems. Networks have become the cornerstone for comprehending the intricate relationships underlying a myriad of engineering domains. From transportation networks optimizing urban mobility, power grids ensuring energy efficiency and resilience, and social networks shaping human interactions to biological networks inspiring human-engineered system design, the application of network science and graphs in engineering spans a vast spectrum of disciplines. This JMD-JCISE webinar is dedicated to promoting the dissemination of knowledge on complex networks in engineering systems and design, and to highlighting the latest advances at the intersection of network science, graph theory, AI, and engineering.
