چکیده
The capabilities of mobile phones enable them to participate in popular social network applications. In this paper we de ne phonebook-centric social networks. The key di erence between such networks and usual social networks is allowing synchronization between the phonebook of the mobile phone and the social network. By the synchronization the goal is to identify the persons listed in the phonebook and the network, it means to nd similar entries and keep the data consistent. Similarities appear in the system when a contact in a phonebook is similar to a member of the social network. Discovering and handling similarities is a key issue from scalability point of view in such networks. Based on our phonebook-centric social network, called Phonebookmark, we investigate the structure of such networks. We observed that the distribution of similarities follows a power law distribution, as well as the distribution of the inand out-degrees in the network. In this paper we propose a model how to calculate the total number of similarities in phonebook-centric social networks. We verify the model with measurements and formulas related to such networks.
