9th February, 2023 (4pm UK time) Arash Badie-Modiri Aalto University, Finland "Reticula: A temporal network and hypergraph analysis software package" https://qmul-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/85666603994 Abstract In the last decade, temporal networks and static and temporal hypergraphs have enabled modelling connectivity and spreading processes in a wide array of real-world complex systems such as economic transactions, information spreading, brain activity and disease spreading. Here, we present the Reticula C++ library and Python package: A comprehensive suite of tools for working with real-world and synthetic static and temporal networks and hypergraphs. This includes various methods of creating synthetic networks and randomised null models based on real-world data, calculating reachability and simulating compartmental models on networks. The library is designed principally on an extensible, cache-friendly representation of networks, with an aim of easing multi-thread use in the high-performance computing environment. In terms of challenges, I will talk more generally about the good and bad parts of writing and distributing software by scientists for scientists. What kind of skills would be useful? How can a PhD candidate reconcile scientific software development with the classic expectation of publishing papers and getting citations?
