Abstract :
We argue that we are witnessing a paradigm shift in science, which could be referred to as network science. Some of the fundamental findings and open problems in network science are reviewed. Since most questions are still largely open, it is expected that the network science will still attract researches with different background: mathematics, physics, biology, electrical and computer engineering, and sociology, to mention only a few.
