Centralized online social networks pose a threat to their users’ privacy as social network providers have unlimited access to users’ data.

While there have been several proposals and advances in the development of privacy- preserving decentralized social networks, the goal of secure, efficient, and available social network in a decentralized setting has not been f

Recent years have seen exponential growth of social network sites (SNSs) such as Friendster, MySpace and Facebook. SNSs flatten the real-world social network by making personal information and social structure visible to users outside the ego-centric networks. They provide a new basis of trust and credibility upon the Internet and Web infrastructure for users to communicate and share information. For the vast majority of social networks, it takes only a few clicks to befriend other members.

Here, we develop a model where the network takes place endogenously, and agents update their opinions accordingly. We study general conditions on the initial distribution of opinions such that consensus will be reached. W

Along with the rapid increase of using social networks sites such as Twitter, a massive number of tweets published every day which generally affect the users decision to forward what they receive of information, and result in making them feel overwhelmed with this information. Then, it is important for this services to help the users not lose their focus from what is close to their interests, and to find potentially interesting tweets. The problem that can occur in this case is called information overload, where an individual will encounter too much information in a short time period. For ins

Abstract:
Nowadays, On-Line Social Networks represent an interactive platform to share -- and very often interact with -- heterogeneous content for different purposes (e.g to comment events and facts, express and share personal opinions on specific topics, and so on), allowing millions of individuals to create on-line profiles and communicate personal information. In this dissertation, we define a novel data model for Multimedia Social Networks (MSNs), i.e. social networks that combine information on users -- belonging to one or more social communities -- with the multimedia content that is generated

Abstract:
博士<br>國立成功大學<br>企業管理學系碩博士班<br>99<br>Scholars in network research have primarily emphasized the tie strength and structural characteristics of what has been called “the social network,” rather than the content and mechanism of network formation. Typically, researchers see social networks as accruing from the particular interactions organizations have for channeling and exchanging knowledge. In this research we seek to contribute to the body of work on networks by discussing the following: (1) the structural characteristics of networks and the content of inter-organizational interactions; (2) th

Abstract:
A fundamental aspect of society is the exchange and discussion of opinions between individuals, occurring in mediums and situations as varied as company boardrooms, elementary school classrooms and online social media. This thesis studies several mathematical models of how an individual’s opinion(s) evolves via interaction with others in a social network, developed to reflect and capture different socio-psychological processes that occur during the interactions. In the first part, and inspired by Solomon E. Asch’s seminal experiments on confor

Abstract:
The sound environment is an eco of the activity and character of each place, often carrying additional information to that made available to the eyes (both new and redundant). It is, therefore, an intangible and volatile acoustic fingerprint of the place, or simply an acoustic snapshot of a single event. Such rich resource, full of meaning and subtleness, Schaeffer called Soundscape. The exploratory research project presented here addresses the Soundscape in the context of Mobile Online Social Networking, aiming at determining the extent of its applicability regarding the establishment
