Applications of hypergraphs in informatics: a survey and opportunities for research. (English) Zbl 1313.68329

Summary: After a brief introduction of hypergraphs and their specific properties that make them able to be used in various fields of research within information systems, modeling and analytics, we survey the fields of hypergraph theory, its applications and their capabilities to describe complex relationships. We outline our research on modeling of information systems and architectures, and then we propose a research agenda to exploit the rich representation ability of hypergraphs in the context of various information and IT systems.
