Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 A networked description of Nature and Society The recent interest of a wide interdisciplinary scientific community for the study of complex networks is justified primary by the fact that a network description of complex systems allows to get relevant information by means of purely statistical coarse-grained analyses, without taking into account the detailed characterization of the system. Moreover, using an abstract networked representation, it is possible to compare, in the same framework, systems that are originally very different, so that the identification of some universal properties becomes much easier. Simplicity and universality are two fundamental principles of the physical research, in particular of statistical physics, that is traditionally interested in the study
