Applications of hypergraphs in informatics:
A survey and opportunities for research

Abstract. After brief introduction about hypergraphs and their specific capabilities that make them apt to be applied in various fields of research within information systems, modeling and analytics. In the literature review, we survey the fields that fit to hypergraphs theory and the application of their capability 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.
