Graph theory has a diverse range of applications in computer science. In the past people programmed using sequential side effects and that worked relatively well at the time. However, with the creation of the internet and the onset of the multicore age we need to view computation in terms of several interacting agents.
Graph theory is the mathematical mechanism which allows us to understand the interactions between a diverse range of agents in a network. As the Internet expands, computation will become increasingly distributed across the Internet, which will increase the importance of graph theory.
