@inproceedings{benevenuto2009characterizing, abstract = {Understanding how users behave when they connect to social networking sites creates opportunities for better interface design, richer studies of social interactions, and improved design of content distribution systems. In this paper, we present a first of a kind analysis of user workloads in online social networks. Our study is based on detailed clickstream data, collected over a 12-day period, summarizing HTTP sessions of 37,024 users who accessed four popular social networks: Orkut, MySpace, Hi5, and LinkedIn. The data were collected from a social network aggregator website in Brazil, which enables users to connect to multiple social networks with a single authentication. Our analysis of the clickstream data reveals key features of the social network workloads, such as how frequently people connect to social networks and for how long, as well as the types and sequences of activities that users conduct on these sites. Additionally, we crawled the social network topology of Orkut, so that we could analyze user interaction data in light of the social graph. Our data analysis suggests insights into how users interact with friends in Orkut, such as how frequently users visit their friends' or non-immediate friends' pages. In summary, our analysis demonstrates the power of using clickstream data in identifying patterns in social network workloads and social interactions. Our analysis shows that browsing, which cannot be inferred from crawling publicly available data, accounts for 92% of all user activities. Consequently, compared to using only crawled data, considering silent interactions like browsing friends' pages increases the measured level of interaction among users.}, acmid = {1644900}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Benevenuto, Fabr\'{\i}cio and Rodrigues, Tiago and Cha, Meeyoung and Almeida, Virg\'{\i}lio}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 9th ACM SIGCOMM Conference on Internet Measurement Conference}, doi = {10.1145/1644893.1644900}, interhash = {ed9b10d4f36f90ddde9b95ce45b0b0be}, intrahash = {e5e25244e1ca2316a7871727e2df2bb9}, isbn = {978-1-60558-771-4}, location = {Chicago, Illinois, USA}, numpages = {14}, pages = {49--62}, publisher = {ACM}, series = {IMC '09}, title = {Characterizing User Behavior in Online Social Networks}, url = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1644893.1644900}, year = 2009 } @article{batagelj2011algorithms, abstract = {The structure of a large network (graph) can often be revealed by partitioning it into smaller and possibly more dense sub-networks that are easier to handle.

Along with a complex topological structure, real networks display a large heterogeneity in the capacity and intensity of the connections. These features, however, have mainly not been considered in past studies where links are usually represented as binary states, i.e., either present or absent. Here, we study the scientific collaboration network and the world-wide air-transportation network, which are representative examples of social and large infrastructure systems, respectively. In both cases it is possible to assign to each edge of the graph a weight proportional to the intensity or capacity of the connections among the various elements of the network. We define appropriate metrics combining weighted and topological observables that enable us to characterize the complex statistical properties and heterogeneity of the actual strength of edges and vertices. This information allows us to investigate the correlations among weighted quantities and the underlying topological structure of the network.

Current models of human dynamics, used from risk assessment to communications, assume that human actions are randomly distributed in time and thus well approximated by Poisson processes. Here we provide direct evidence that for five human activity patterns, such as email and letter based communications, web browsing, library visits and stock trading, the timing of individual human actions follow non-Poisson statistics, characterized by bursts of rapidly occurring events separated by long periods of inactivity. We show that the bursty nature of human behavior is a consequence of a decision based queuing process: when individuals execute tasks based on some perceived priority, the timing of the tasks will be heavy tailed, most tasks being rapidly executed, while a few experiencing very long waiting times. In contrast, priority blind execution is well approximated by uniform interevent statistics. We discuss two queuing models that capture human activity. The first model assumes that there are no limitations on the number of tasks an individual can hadle at any time, predicting that the waiting time of the individual tasks follow a heavy tailed distribution P(τw)∼τw−α with α=3∕2. The second model imposes limitations on the queue length, resulting in a heavy tailed waiting time distribution characterized by α=1. We provide empirical evidence supporting the relevance of these two models to human activity patterns, showing that while emails, web browsing and library visitation display α=1, the surface mail based communication belongs to the α=3∕2 universality class.

Graph analysis has been performed by sociologists for over 60 years, and resulted in the vivid research area of Social Network Analysis (SNA).While social network structures currently receive high attention in the Semantic Web community, there are only very few SNA applications, and virtually none for analyzing the structure of ontologies. We illustrate the benefits of applying SNA to ontologies and the Semantic Web, and discuss which research topics arise on the edge between the two areas. In particular, we discuss how different notions of centrality describe the core content and structure of an ontology.

In such systems users describe bookmarks by keywords called tags. The structure behind these social systems, called folksonomies, can be viewed as a tripartite hypergraph of user, tag and resource nodes. This underlying network shows specific structural properties that explain its growth and the possibility of serendipitous exploration. Today’s search engines represent the gateway to retrieve information from the World Wide Web. Short queries typically consisting of two to three words describe a user’s information need. In response to the displayed results of the search engine, users click on the links of the result page as they expect the answer to be of relevance. This clickdata can be represented as a folksonomy in which queries are descriptions of clicked URLs. The resulting network structure, which we will term logsonomy is very similar to the one of folksonomies. In order to find out about its properties, we analyze the topological characteristics of the tripartite hypergraph of queries, users and bookmarks on a large snapshot of del.icio.us and on query logs of two large search engines. All of the three datasets show small world properties. The tagging behavior of users, which is explained by preferential attachment of the tags in social bookmark systems, is reflected in the distribution of single query words in search engines. We can conclude that the clicking behaviour of search engine users based on the displayed search results and the tagging behaviour of social bookmarking users is driven by similar dynamics.}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Krause, Beate and Jäschke, Robert and Hotho, Andreas and Stumme, Gerd}, booktitle = {HT '08: Proceedings of the Nineteenth ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia}, doi = {10.1145/1379092.1379123}, interhash = {6d34ea1823d95b9dbf37d4db4d125d2a}, intrahash = {e64d14f3207766f4afc65983fa759ffe}, isbn = {978-1-59593-985-2}, location = {Pittsburgh, PA, USA}, pages = {157--166}, publisher = {ACM}, title = {Logsonomy - Social Information Retrieval with Logdata}, url = {http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/pub/pdf/krause2008logsonomy.pdf}, vgwort = {17}, year = 2008 } @inproceedings{scripps2007roles, abstract = {A node role is a subjective characterization of the part it plays in a network structure. Knowing the role of a node is important for many link mining applications. For example, in Web search, nodes that are deemed to be authorities on a given topic are often found to be most relevant to the user's queries. There are a number of metrics that can be used to assign roles to individual nodes in a network, including degree, closeness, and betweenness. None of these metrics, however, take into account the community structure that underlies the network. In this paper we define community-based roles that the nodes can assume (ambassadors, big fish, loners, and bridges) and show how existing link mining techniques can be improved by knowledge of such roles. A new community-based metric is introduced for estimating the number of communities linked to a node. Using this metric and a modification of degree, we show how to assign community-based roles to the nodes. We also illustrate the benefits of knowing the community-based node roles in the context of link-based classification and influence maximization.}, acmid = {1348553}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, author = {Scripps, Jerry and Tan, Pang-Ning and Esfahanian, Abdol-Hossein}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 9th WebKDD and 1st SNA-KDD 2007 workshop on Web mining and social network analysis}, doi = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1348549.1348553}, interhash = {bc67321ee8dc1e7db1c3c234833a5519}, intrahash = {4435192c25bfc86b47f030011f4ce1ef}, isbn = {978-1-59593-848-0}, location = {San Jose, California}, numpages = {10}, pages = {26--35}, publisher = {ACM}, series = {WebKDD/SNA-KDD '07}, title = {Node roles and community structure in networks}, url = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1348549.1348553}, year = 2007 }
