Co-authorship has shown an increasing trend in science as
its complexity increases. It is found to be more fruitful to
have multi partner teams working on a single problem.
Computer Science is a relatively new discipline in science
and we can map the field and collaboration patterns from
almost the beginning.
We find like mathematics CS has relatively low
collaboration (66.6% singly authored or two author
papers). With time as the field matures larger networks of
collaboration appear.
Emergence of new areas is shown by the evolution of new
terms using term frequencies and word clouds.
Changes in the collaborative network patterns at different
stages in the development of the field are shown.
Emergence of a giant component is seen.

Growth in Computer Science
Computer Science has grown rapidly as a field.
Proceedings papers have grown faster than
journal papers.
