Abstract

Social Network is being a popular word in WEB 2.0 era. Various social network websites connect us and our friends together. A buzzword which describes the idea is "communicate with anyone anywhere". By using social network websites like Facebookor blog, we can find out the communities which share the same interests with us. In the academic area, people sharing the similar research interest can also form community which is one type of social network. In this paper, we are trying to identify the people with similar research interest and help them build up such kind of social network. The information sources mainly come from the research papers and articles which can be searched freely from some research organizations' websites, such as ACM web Portaland IEEE web Portal. In addition, we would like to find out more personal information about experts in particular research field by using common search tools such as Googleand Live Search.
