Over the years\, centrality has been used as a proxy of importance in settings as diverse as transportati on\, biological\, and social networks. In the last decade\, we are observi ng a move away from nodal metrics\, which assign importance to a node alon e\, and towards group metrics\, which consider collections of nodes. It is often desirable for these groups to induce specific structures or motifs\ , depending on the application or context. Chrysafis Vogiatzis will presen t an overview of the state-of-the-art and its fast evolution within the op erations research and network optimization communities. Then\, Vogiatzis w ill talk about future exciting directions\, including the limited availabi lity of stochastic metrics\, new structures and emerging applications that can take advantage of the proposed metrics. Vogiatzis will finish this pr esentation with his contributions to stochastic variants of group centrali ty with an application to protein-protein interaction networks.
