Tech Networks

A network diagram is a general type of diagram, which represents some kind of network. A network in general is an interconnected group or system, or a fabric or structure of fibrous elements attached to each other at regular intervals, or formally: a graph.

A network diagrams is a special kind of cluster diagram, which even more general represents any cluster or small group or bunch of something, structured or not. Both the flow diagram and the tree diagram can be seen as a specific type of network diagram.

Types of network diagrams

There are different types network diagrams:

• Artificial neural network or "neural network" (NN), is a mathematical model or computational model based on biological neural networks. It consists of an interconnected group of artificial neurons and processes information using a connectionist approach to computation.

• Computer network diagram is a schematic depicting the nodes and connections amongst nodes in a computer network or, more generally, any telecommunications network.

• In project management a network diagram is the logical representation of activities, that defines the sequence or the work of a project. It shows the path of a project, lists starting and completion dates , and names the responsibilities for each task. At a glance it explains how the work of the project goes together. A network for a simple project might consist one or two pages, and on a larger project several network diagrams may exist. Specific diagrams here are
• Project network: a general flow chart depicting the sequence in which a project's terminal elements are to be completed by showing terminal elements and their dependencies.
• PERT network

• Neural network diagram: ia a network or circuit of biological neurons or artificial neural networks, which are composed of artificial neurons or nodes.

• A semantic network is a network or circuit of biological neurons. The modern usage of the term often refers to artificial neural networks, which are composed of artificial neurons or nodes].
