Uncovering structural patterns in collaboration networks is key for understanding how knowledge flows and innovation emerges. These networks often exhibit a rich interplay of meso-scale structures, such as communities, core-periphery…
Despite recent initiatives aimed at improving accessibility, the field of digital accessibility remains markedly behind contemporary advancements in the software industry as a large number of real world software and web applications…
Identification of communities in complex networks has become an effective means to analysis of complex systems. It has broad applications in diverse areas such as social science, engineering, biology and medicine. Finding communities of…
Community structure is pervasive in various real-world networks, portraying the strong local clustering of nodes. Unveiling the community structure of a network is deemed to a crucial step towards understanding the dynamics on the network.…
Many real-world networks, including nervous systems, exhibit meso-scale structure. This means that their elements can be grouped into meaningful sub-networks. In general, these sub-networks are unknown ahead of time and must be "discovered"…
Community structure is one of the key properties of real-world complex networks. It plays a crucial role in their behaviors and topology. While an important work has been done on the issue of community detection, very little attention has…
Communities are not static; they evolve, split and merge, appear and disappear, i.e. they are product of dynamical processes that govern the evolution of the network. A good algorithm for community detection should not only quantify the…
Community detection is a fascinating and rapidly evolving field, but when it comes to analyzing networks with multiple types of interactions, referred to as multilayer networks, there is still a lot of untapped potential. Despite the wide…
The detection of community structure is probably one of the hottest trends in complex network research as it reveals the internal organization of people, molecules or processes behind social, biological or computer networks\dots The issue…
Most existing community-related studies focus on detection, which aim to find the community membership for each user from user friendship links. However, membership alone, without a complete profile of what a community is and how it…
Community structure is a commonly observed feature of real networks. The term refers to the presence in a network of groups of nodes (communities) that feature high internal connectivity, but are poorly connected between each other. Whereas…
Community structure is a typical property of many real-world networks, and has become a key to understand the dynamics of the networked systems. In these networks most nodes apparently lie in a community while there often exists a few nodes…
We survey some of the concepts, methods, and applications of community detection, which has become an increasingly important area of network science. To help ease newcomers into the field, we provide a guide to available methodology and…
Here we identify a type of privacy concern in Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOPs) not previously addressed in literature, despite its importance and impact on the application field: the privacy of existence of secrets. Science only…
This paper investigates different approaches to build and use digital human avatars toward interactive Virtual Co-presence (VCP) environments. We evaluate the evolution of technologies for creating VCP environments and how the advancement…
Computations related to learning processes within an organizational social network area require some network model preparation and specific algorithms in order to implement human behaviors in simulated environments. The proposals in this…
The discovery of community structures in social networks has gained considerable attention as a fundamental problem for various network analysis tasks. However, due to privacy concerns or access restrictions, the network structure is often…
Many networks in nature, society and technology are characterized by a mesoscopic level of organization, with groups of nodes forming tightly connected units, called communities or modules, that are only weakly linked to each other.…
Networks built to model real world phenomena are characeterised by some properties that have attracted the attention of the scientific community: (i) they are organised according to community structure and (ii) their structure evolves with…
Network structures, consisting of nodes and edges, have applications in almost all subjects. A set of nodes is called a community if the nodes have strong interrelations. Industries (including cell phone carriers and online social media…
