CS 363 - Networks, Games, and Collective Behavior
Undergraduate, Habib University, Computer Science Department, 2026
Studying human social behavior warrants an interdisciplinary perspective, and thus, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the transient dynamics of networks in which human society is embedded. This course covers topics ranging from the foundation of network science including its mathematical foundations, to game theory, and computational social choice focusing on systems that exhibit collective behavior, helping us to understand human social behavior from a theoretical and an applied lens. We will also explore the effects of pairwise and group-wise decision-making using a game-theoretic framework to gain insight into collective behavior in natural and artificial systems.
