Abraham A., Hassanien Aboul-Ella, Snásel Vaclav (eds.) Computational Social Network Analysis: Trends, Tools and Research Advances

Springer, 2010. — 487 p. — (Computer Communications and Networks). — ISBN 978-1-84882-228-3.Social networks provide a powerful abstraction of the structure and dynamics of diverse kinds of people or people-to-technology interaction. Web 2.0 has enabled a new generation of web-based communities, social networks, and folksonomies to facilitate collaboration among different communities. This unique text/reference compares and contrasts the ethological approach to social behavior in animals with web-based evidence of social interaction, perceptual learning, information granulation, the behavior of humans and affinities between web-based social networks. An international team of leading experts present the latest advances of various topics in intelligent-social-networks and illustrates how organizations can gain competitive advantages by applying the different emergent techniques in real-world scenarios. The work incorporates experience reports, survey articles, and intelligence techniques and theories with specific network technology problems.Social Network Mining Tools
