The Evolution of Social and Economic Networks

by Matthew O. Jackson, Alison Watts - JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC THEORY 106, 265–295 , 2002
"... We examine the dynamic formation and stochastic evolution of networks connecting individuals. The payoff to an individual from an economic or social activity depends on the network of connections among individuals. Over time individuals form and sever links connecting themselves to other individuals ..."

Measurement and Analysis of Online Social Networks

by Alan Mislove, Massimiliano Marcon, Krishna P. Gummadi, Peter Druschel, Bobby Bhattacharjee - In Proceedings of the 5th ACM/USENIX Internet Measurement Conference (IMC’07 , 2007
"... Online social networking sites like Orkut, YouTube, and Flickr are among the most popular sites on the Internet. Users of these sites form a social network, which provides a powerful means of sharing, organizing, and finding content and contacts. The popularity of these sites provides an opportunity ..."

Epidemic Spreading in Scale-Free Networks

by Romualdo Pastor-satorras, Alessandro Vespignani , 2000
"... The Internet, as well as many other networks, has a very complex connectivity recently modeled by the class of scale-free networks. This feature, which appears to be very efficient for a communications network, favors at the same time the spreading of computer viruses. We analyze real data from c ..."

The link-prediction problem for social networks

by David Liben-nowell, Jon Kleinberg - J. AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY , 2007
"... Given a snapshot of a social network, can we infer which new interactions among its members are likely to occur in the near future? We formalize this question as the link-prediction problem, and we develop approaches to link prediction based on measures for analyzing the “proximity” of nodes in a ne ..."

Centrality in social networks conceptual clarification

by Linton C. Freeman - Social Networks , 1978
"... The intuitive background for measures of structural centrality in social networks is reviewed aPzd existing measures are evaluated in terms of their consistency with intuitions and their interpretability. Three distinct intuitive conceptions of centrality are uncovered and existing measures are refi ..."

Earthquake Shakes Twitter Users: Real-time Event Detection by Social Sensors

by Takeshi Sakaki, Makoto Okazaki, Yutaka Matsuo - In Proceedings of the Nineteenth International WWW Conference (WWW2010). ACM , 2010
"... Twitter, a popular microblogging service, has received much attention recently. An important characteristic of Twitter is its real-time nature. For example, when an earthquake occurs, people make many Twitter posts (tweets) related to the earthquake, which enables detection of earthquake occurrence ..."

Bro: A System for Detecting Network Intruders in Real-Time

by Vern Paxson , 1999
"... We describe Bro, a stand-alone system for detecting network intruders in real-time by passively monitoring a network link over which the intruder's traffic transits. We give an overview of the system's design, which emphasizes highspeed (FDDI-rate) monitoring, real-time notification, clear ..."

A Strategic Model of Social and Economic Networks

by Matthew O. Jackson, Asher Wolinsky - CMSEMS Discussion Paper 1098, Northwestern University, revised , 1995
"... We study the stability and efficiency of social and economic networks, when selfinterested individuals can form or sever links. First, for two stylized models, we characterize the stable and efficient networks. There does not always exist a stable network that is efficient. Next, we show that this t ..."

Maximizing the Spread of Influence Through a Social Network

by David Kempe - In KDD , 2003
"... Models for the processes by which ideas and influence propagate through a social network have been studied in a number of domains, including the diffusion of medical and technological innovations, the sudden and widespread adoption of various strategies in game-theoretic settings, and the effects of ..."
