Abstract:
Network theory analysis is applicable to many scientific disciplines (fields) such as biology, statistics and sociology. The social network analysis is one of the various branches of the broader network theory analysis, the social network analysis. It is of high interest among the researchers in social sciences. Social networks have had a significant impact on human civilizations for many centuries. During the last two decades, the main academic interest was addressed towards the research and analysis of a dynamically uprising sector of social networks, the on-line networks, primarily due to t

Abstract:
Network data (also referred to as relational data, social network data, real graph data) has become ubiquitous, and understanding patterns in this data has become an important research problem. We investigate how interactions in social networks are formed and how these interactions facilitate diffusion, model these behaviors, and apply these findings to real-world problems. We examined graphs of size up to 16 million nodes, across many domains from academic citation networks, to campaign contributions and actor-movie networks. We also performed several case studies in online social networks su

Abstract:
Social bookmarking has gained popularity since the advent of Web 2.0. Keywords known as tags are created to annotate web content, and the resulting tag space composed of the tags, the resources, and the users arises as a new platform for web content discovery. Useful and interesting web resources can be located through searching and browsing based on tags, as well as following the user-user connections formed in the social bookmarking community. However, the effectiveness of tag-based search is limited due to the lack of explicitly represented semantics in the tag space. In addition, social co

Abstract:
Community, a notion transversal to all areas of Social Network Analysis, has drawn tremendous amount of attention across the sciences in the past decades. Numerous attempts to characterize both the sociological embodiment of the concept as well as its observable structural manifestation in the social network have to this date only converged in spirit. No formal consensus has been reached on the quantifiable aspects of community, despite it being deeply linked to topological and dynamic aspects of the underlying social network. Presenting a fresh approach to the evaluation of communities, this

Abstract:
How do local homeland security organizations respond to catastrophic events such as hurricanes and acts of terrorism? Among the most important aspects of this response are these organizations ability to adapt to the uncertain nature of these “focusing events” (Birkland 1997). They are often behind the curve, seeing response as a linear process, when in fact it is a complex, multifaceted process that requires understanding the interactions between the fiscal pressures facing local governments, the institutional pressures of working within a new regulatory framework and the political pressures o

Abstract:
Un réseau social est une structure composée d'entités reliées par un ou plusieurs types d'interdépendance, le plus souvent modélisé par un ou plusieurs graphes. Une caractéristique importante des réseaux sociaux est leur structure en communautés. Une communauté est définie comme un ensemble de nœuds qui interagissent d'avantage entre eux qu'avec le reste du réseau. Cette thèse porte sur l'analyse des communautés dans les réseaux sociaux, qui est utile pour de nombreuses tâches, telles la caractérisation de la structure, les systèmes de recommandation, la visualisation, ou encore le suivi de la

Full text
Abstract:
Statistics show that the world wide web is dominated by a few widely spoken languages. However, in quieter corners of the web, clusters of minority language speakers can be found interacting and sharing content. This study is the first to compare three such clusters of Irish language social media users. Social network analysis of the most active public sites of interaction through Irish – the Irish language blogosphere, the Irish language Twittersphere and a popular Irish language Facebook group – reveals unique networks of individuals communicating through Irish in unique and innovative ways.

Abstract:
Word-of-mouth (WOM) communication is a well studied phenomenon in the literature and content propagation in Online Social Networks (OSNs) is one of the forms of WOM mechanism that have been prevalent in recent years specially with the widespread surge of online communities and online social networks. The basic piece of information in most OSNs is a post (e.g., a tweet in Twitter or a post in Facebook). A post can contain different types of content such as text, photo, video, etc, or a mixture of two or more them. There are also various ways to enrich the text by mentioning other users, using h
