Computational Social Networks

Computational Social Networks Synopsis

This book is the third of three volumes that illustrate the concept of social networks from a computational point of view. The book contains contributions from a international selection of world-class experts, with a specific focus on knowledge discovery and visualization of complex networks (the other two volumes review Tools, Perspectives, and Applications, and Security and Privacy in CSNs). Topics and features:

• presents the latest advances in CSNs, and illustrates how organizations can gain a competitive advantage from a better understanding of complex social networks
• discusses the design and use of a wide range of computational tools and software for social network analysis
• describes simulations of social networks, and the representation and analysis of social networks, highlighting methods for the data mining of CSNs
• provides experience reports, survey articles, and intelligence techniques and theories relating to specific problems in network technology
