Hello, Luca. You may find useful to look at Jennifer Goldbeck research. She is mostly interested in computing trust in web based social networks, but in most of her articles she deals with massive online social networks, like LiveJournal, etc. Here is her homepage: http://www.cs.umd.edu/~golbeck/ Best wishes, Alexander. -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Luca Rossi Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 12:48 PM To: air-l; denrall Subject: [Air-L] Automated analysis of large social network Dear all, I'm working on a research project aimed to develop a software tool able to map and analyze how social relations are reshaped on Facebook. I was wondering if you were aware of any paper or book about large social network analysis (preferably automated). I'm not thinking about small scale SN analysis but about large (or very large) SN. At the same time are you aware of any research based on the analysis of large quantities of User generated contents? (blog entries or youtube videos etc.). thank you all Luca -- Luca Rossi LaRiCA - Advanced Communication Laboratory Faculty of Sociology - "Carlo Bo" University, Urbino luca.rossi@soc.uniurb.it T. +39 0722 305726 F. +39 0722 305727 http://larica-virtual.soc.uniurb.it/redline _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
