Graph limits and exchangeable random graphs

We develop a clear connection between deFinetti's theorem for exchangeable arrays (work of Aldous{Hoover{Kallenberg) and the emerging area of graph limits (work of Lov asz and many coauthors). Along the way, we translate the graph theory into more classical prob- ability.
