The Joy of Graphs

Graph Theory has been around for a long time. Its use in computing has found a number of applications, most prominently social networks. In this episode I will be talking with Ben Steer and Gabor Szarnyas about their experiences in working with graphs. In particular: how to assess the performance of graphs, their use in science and research, the state of graph query languages and more.Here are a few links you might find useful:- https://www.routledgehandbooks.com/doi/10.1201/b16132-3  Handbook of Graphs, a nice overview. - https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.06171 The Future is Big Graphs!
