Abstract

Social Networks are gaining importance due to their enablement of modeling various types of interactions among individuals, communities and organizations. Network Topologies play a major role in analyzing the social networks for a variety of business application scenarios such as finding influencers in product campaigning and virtual communities to recommend music downloads. Social networks are dynamic in nature and detection of topologies from these networks presents a host of new challenges. In this paper, we present approaches for topology discovery, particularly star, ring and mesh, based on the measures of network centrality. These approaches facilitate an efficient way of discovering topologies for analyzing large social networks. We also discuss experiments on DBLP dataset to show the viability of our proposed approach.
