We compute numerous features of the graph including the number of users and friendships, the degree distribution, path lengths, clustering, and mixing patterns. Our results center around three main observations. First, we characterize the global structure of the graph, determining that the social network is nearly fully connected, with 99.91% of individuals belonging to a single large connected component, and we confirm the "six degrees of separation" phenomenon on a global scale. Second, by studying the average local clustering coefficient and degeneracy of graph neighborhoods, we show that while the Facebook graph as a whole is clearly sparse, the graph neighborhoods of users contain surprisingly dense structure. Third, we characterize the assortativity patterns present in the graph by studying the basic demographic and network properties of users. We observe clear degree assortativity and characterize the extent to which "your friends have more friends than you". Furthermore, we observe a strong effect of age on friendship preferences as well as a globally modular community structure driven by nationality, but we do not find any strong gender homophily. We compare our results with those from smaller social networks and find mostly, but not entirely, agreement on common structural network characteristics.}, author = {Ugander, Johan and Karrer, Brian and Backstrom, Lars and Marlow, Cameron}, interhash = {968abebf69b5959d2837eefcda3a8a32}, intrahash = {efad3d029704f09829373a443eeefdde}, note = {cite arxiv:1111.4503Comment: 17 pages, 9 figures, 1 table}, title = {The Anatomy of the Facebook Social Graph}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.4503}, year = 2011 } @article{pham2011development, abstract = {In contrast to many other scientific disciplines, computer science considers conference publications. Conferences have the advantage of providing fast publication of papers and of bringing researchers together to present and discuss the paper with peers. Previous work on knowledge mapping focused on the map of all sciences or a particular domain based on ISI published Journal Citation Report (JCR). Although this data cover most of the important journals, it lacks computer science conference and workshop proceedings, which results in an imprecise and incomplete analysis of the computer science knowledge. This paper presents an analysis on the computer science knowledge network constructed from all types of publications, aiming at providing a complete view of computer science research. Based on the combination of two important digital libraries (DBLP and CiteSeerX), we study the knowledge network created at journal/conference level using citation linkage, to identify the development of sub-disciplines. We investigate the collaborative and citation behavior of journals/conferences by analyzing the properties of their co-authorship and citation subgraphs. The paper draws several important conclusions. First, conferences constitute social structures that shape the computer science knowledge. Second, computer science is becoming more interdisciplinary.

Identifying the most efficient "spreaders" in a network is an important step to optimize the use of available resources and ensure the more efficient spread of information. Here we show that, in contrast to common belief, the most influential spreaders in a social network do not correspond to the best connected people or to the most central people (high betweenness centrality). Instead, we find: (i) The most efficient spreaders are those located within the core of the network as identified by the k-shell decomposition analysis. (ii) When multiple spreaders are considered simultaneously, the distance between them becomes the crucial parameter that determines the extend of the spreading. Furthermore, we find that-- in the case of infections that do not confer immunity on recovered individuals-- the infection persists in the high k-shell layers of the network under conditions where hubs may not be able to preserve the infection. Our analysis provides a plausible route for an optimal design of efficient dissemination strategies. }, author = {Kitsak, Maksim and Gallos, Lazaros K. and Havlin, Shlomo and Liljeros, Fredrik and Muchnik, Lev and Stanley, H.

The innovations introduced by social media has lead to a new paradigm for interacting with information, what we call 'social information processing'. In this paper, we study how social news aggregator Digg exploits social information processing to solve the problems of document recommendation and rating. First, we show, by tracking stories over time, that social networks play an important role in document recommendation. The second contribution of this paper consists of two mathematical models. The first model describes how collaborative rating and promotion of stories emerges from the independent decisions made by many users. The second model describes how a user's influence, the number of promoted stories and the user's social network, changes in time. We find qualitative agreement between predictions of the model and user data gathered from Digg.}, author = {Lerman, Kristina}, date-added = {2008-02-07 01:06:26 +0100}, date-modified = {2008-02-07 02:25:10 +0100}, interhash = {aec2fc56edd502101e68e669b50ee17f}, intrahash = {7a080f640fa62fc81e73b9fab1e7447c}, journal = {arXiv}, local-url = {file://localhost/Users/bertilhatt/Documents/Papers/Lerman/2007/Lerman%202007%20arXiv.pdf}, month = Jan, pmid = {11330701288966819101related:HY3tKMq8Pp0J}, rating = {0}, read = {Yes}, title = {Social Information Processing in Social News Aggregation}, uri = {papers://C3B117CD-23C4-4854-9426-AC96AFB113DA/Paper/p3955}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.CY/0703087}, year = 2007 } @article{journals/corr/abs-physics-0602026, author = {Capocci, Andrea and Servedio, Vito Domenico Pietro and Colaiori, Francesca and Buriol, Luciana S. and Donato, Debora and Leonardi, Stefano and Caldarelli, Guido}, date = {2008-01-02}, ee = {http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0602026}, interhash = {88bf1242c692479acc414f633c4bab44}, intrahash = {3c16ad257c21304d02f1d108571d9c8c}, journal = {CoRR}, note = {informal publication}, title = {Preferential attachment in the growth of social networks: the case of Wikipedia}, url = {http://dblp.uni-trier.de/db/journals/corr/corr0602.html#abs-physics-0602026}, volume = {abs/physics/0602026}, year = 2006 } @inproceedings{hoser2006semantic, address = {Budva, Montenegro}, author = {Hoser, Bettina and Hotho, Andreas and Jäschke, Robert and Schmitz, Christoph and Stumme, Gerd}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 3rd European Semantic Web Conference}, interhash = {344ec3b4ee8af1a2c6b86efc14917fa9}, intrahash = {85f032bf2ffe9b1b55f8656c8a0d6d70}, isbn = {3-540-34544-2}, month = {June}, pages = {514-529}, publisher = {Springer}, series = {LNCS}, title = {Semantic Network Analysis of Ontologies}, url = {http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/hotho/pub/2006/hoser_sna_eswc2005.pdf}, vgwort = {29}, volume = 4011, year = 2006 } @misc{golder05structure, author = {Golder, Scott and Huberman, Bernardo A.}, citeulike-article-id = {305755}, eprint = {cs.DL/0508082}, interhash = {2d312240f16eba52c5d73332bc868b95}, intrahash = {f852d7a909fa3edceb04abb7d2a20f71}, month = Aug, priority = {2}, title = {The Structure of Collaborative Tagging Systems}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.DL/0508082}, year = 2005 } @inproceedings{jin:07:eswc, author = {Jin, YingZi and Matsuo, Yutaka and Ishizuka, Mitsuru}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the European Semantic Web Conference, ESWC2007}, editor = {Franconi, Enrico and Kifer, Michael and May, Wolfgang}, interhash = {cbac61a5d054dbb3d53798e85466464d}, intrahash = {69e2126f99c29bda2c747bf6aceaaa8f}, month = {July}, publisher = {Springer-Verlag}, series = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, title = {{Extracting Social Networks among Various Entities on the Web}}, url = {http://www.eswc2007.org/pdf/eswc07-jin.pdf}, volume = 4519, year = 2007 } @inproceedings{conf/ceas/KongBRSR05, author = {Kong, Joseph S. and Boykin, P.
