Introduction
Nowadays one of the most pressing as well as interesting scientific challenges deals with the analysis and the understanding of social systems' dynamics and how these evolve according to the interactions among their components. The efforts in this area strive to understand what are the driving forces behind the evolution of social networks and how they are articulated together with social dynamics — e.g., opinion dynamics, the epidemic or innovation diffusion, the teams formation, and so forth...
