چکیده

In this paper, we look at the betweenness centrality of ego in an ego network. We discuss the issue of normalization and develop an efficient and simple algorithm for calculating the betweenness score. We then examine the relationship between the ego betweenness and the betweenness of the actor in the whole network. Whereas, we can show that there is no theoretical link between the two we undertake a simulation study, which indicates that the local ego betweenness is highly correlated with the betweenness of the actor in the complete network. © 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Leveraging In-network Caching for Efficient Content Delivery in Content-centric Network

The recent proposal on content-centric network advocates the use of in-network caching to enhance content delivery in the Internet. In this paper, we proposed an in-network caching algorithm based on the concept of ego network betweenness centrality and compared its performance with Van Jacobson’s networking named content caching technique.

Egocentric and sociocentric measures of network centrality

Egocentric centrality measures (for data on a node’s first-order zone) parallel to Freeman’s [Social Networks 1 (1979) 215] centrality measures for complete (sociocentric) network data are considered. Degree-based centrality is in principle identical for egocentric and sociocentric network data. A closeness measure is uninformative for egocentric data, since all geodesic distances from ego to o...

One in Four Is Enough – Strategies for Selecting Ego Mailboxes for a Group Network View

Recently, researchers have started analyzing e-mail archives of individuals and groups as an approximation of social ties. However it can be hard to obtain complete e-mail archives covering all exchanges between a group of individuals. Frequently, only e-mailboxes of a subset of the analyzed actors are available for analysis. In this project we report on some experiments to find the best ego ne...

Identifying Node Role in Social Network Based on Multiple Indicators

It is a classic topic of social network analysis to evaluate the importance of nodes and identify the node that takes on the role of core or bridge in a network. Because a single indicator is not sufficient to analyze multiple characteristics of a node, it is a natural solution to apply multiple indicators that should be selected carefully. An intuitive idea is to select some indicators with we...

A distributed Dunbar-based Framework for Online Social Network

Online Social Networks (OSNs) are becoming more and more popular on the Web. Distributed Online Social Networks (DOSNs) are OSNs which do not exploit a central server for storing users’ data and enable users to have more control on their profile content, ensuring a higher level of privacy. In this thesis we propose DiDuSoNet, a novel P2P Distributed Dunbar-based Online Social Network where user...
