Class Networks and New Technologies

In the belief that the knowledge area related to networks and new information technologies is framed in a
complex, pluridisciplinary and constantly changing thematic area, the selected program modules aim to
provide students with familiarization with the concept of networks in a perspective that has as basis for
analysis of communication and what is in its structuring and evolution.

1. Random networks. Properties of the Erdvos model.
1.1. Connection, distance, grouping and distribution function concepts
2. 'Small-world' networks. The Watts-Strogazt model
3. Networks without a characteristic scale. Model of Barabási
4. Dynamic processes and information dissemination in networks
5. The computer as an instrument of communication between men
6. The evolution of the Internet.
7. The creation of the TCP / IP protocol
8. The World Wide Web
9. Peer-to peer-computation networks
10. Virtual social networks
11. The diffusion of technologies

Artificial intelligence can only be used within the limit of searching for sources where the investigation of evaluation work can be verified.
