Garrido %E Joaqu?n Marro %X We present here an introduction to the ideas and models that physicist developed in order to describe the graph or network structure in a variety of different systems. Firstly we give a very basic list of definition that can be of some help in approaching this field. After that we present a brief review of the state of art for the models. ? 2003 American Institute of Physics
