Many species dream, yet there remain many open research questions in the study of dreams. The symbolism of dreams and their interpretation is present in cultures throughout history. Analysis of online data sources for dream interpretation…
This paper studies topology inference, from agent states, of a directed cyber-social network with opinion spreading dynamics model that explicitly takes confirmation bias into account. The cyber-social network comprises a set of partially…
The increasing complexity and volume of network data demand effective analysis approaches, with visual exploration proving particularly beneficial. Immersive technologies, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and large display walls,…
We use methods from network science to analyze corruption risk in a large administrative dataset of over 4 million public procurement contracts from European Union member states covering the years 2008-2016. By mapping procurement markets…
Networks represent relationships between entities in many complex systems, spanning from online social interactions to biological cell development and brain connectivity. In many cases, relationships between entities are unambiguously…
Community structure describes the organization of a network into subgraphs that contain a prevalence of edges within each subgraph and relatively few edges across boundaries between subgraphs. The development of community-detection methods…
The main goal of the present work is to analyze the activity of the French companies from Romania related to the increasing use of the information and communication technology in the productive field. The convergent assembly of information…
The growth in data traffic and the increased demand for quality of service had generated a large demand for network systems to be more efficient. The introduction of improved routing systems to meet the increasing demand and varied…
Currently, flight delays are common and they propagate from an originating flight to connecting flights, leading to large disruptions in the overall schedule. These disruptions cause massive economic losses, affect airlines' reputations,…
The last two decades witnessed tremendous advances in the Information and Communications Technologies. Beside improvements in computational power and storage capacity, communication networks carry nowadays an amount of data which was not…
From social networks to P2P systems, network sampling arises in many settings. We present a detailed study on the nature of biases in network sampling strategies to shed light on how best to sample from networks. We investigate connections…
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…
The complexity of big data structures and networks demands more research in terms of analysing and representing data for a better comprehension and usage. In this regard, there are several types of model to represent a structure. The aim of…
This study applies social network analysis (SNA) to map and analyze literary networks in St Petersburg from 1999 to 2019, using data from the 'SPbLitGuide' newsletter. By examining co-participation in literary events, we reveal the dynamics…
The Internet infrastructure is not virtual: its distribution is dictated by social, geographical, economical, or political constraints. However, the infrastructure's design does not determine entirely the information traffic and different…
The practice of scientific research is often thought of as individuals and small teams striving for disciplinary advances. Yet as a whole, this endeavor more closely resembles a complex system of natural computation, in which information is…
Online Social Networking may be a way to support health professionals' need for continuous learning through interaction with peers and experts. Understanding and evaluating such learning is important but difficult, and Social Network…
The comprehension of the mechanisms behind the mobility of skilled workers is of paramount importance for policy making. The lacking nature of official measurements motivates the use of digital trace data extracted from ORCID public…
Resilience in social systems is crucial for mitigating the impacts of crises, such as climate change, which poses an existential threat to communities globally. As disasters become more frequent and severe, enhancing community resilience…
Many investigations of scientific collaboration are based on statistical analyses of large networks constructed from bibliographic repositories. These investigations often rely on a wealth of bibliographic data, but very little or no other…
