This book integrates history of science and technology with modern social network theory. Using examples from the history of machines, as well as case studies from wireless, radio and chaos theory, the author challenges the genius model of invention. Network analysis concepts are presented to demonstrate the societal nature of invention in areas such as steam power, internal combustion engines, early aviation, air conditioning and more. Using modern measures of network theory, the author demonstrates that the social networks of invention from the 19th and early 20th centuries have similar characteristics to modern 21st C networks such as the World Wide Web. The book provides evidence that exponential growth in technical innovation is linked to the growth of historical innovation networks.

Social networking is not a new concept. Various traditional facets of our existence might be reinterpreted as social networking, from early Christians to the World Wide Web. It refers to the act of relating nodes for example; individuals, organisations, other social entities through social links for example; friendship, professional relationship, information exchange. Before the 20th century, social networking could only take place at short distance, or with considerable time delay when travelling or exchanging letters. Since the 1950's, telephones, tele- and videoconferencing have allowed real-time communications even over long distances. These two-way communication channels are generally good links for pairs of people or small groups, but they tend to be inefficient for large-scale, mass interactions. Moreover they enable simultaneous communications. This book provides leading edge research on this field from around the globe.

Social interactions have been an integral part of human civilization. It reflects human society and its evolution. The first challenge in the research of social networks is data acquisition. The high cost and low efficiency are always restrictions. In addition, most existing studies of network problems are using single datasets to build their network models. It is paramount to find a general method of obtaining a highly accurate network model to represent social interactions. Therefore, we propose a cross-platform system and strategy to collect data through radio sensors and design a combined scheme with multiple datasets in order to settle this problem. Moreover, we use complex network theory to build our network models. The next challenge is network dynamic. A larger number of real-world networks are dynamic, i.e. social networks, as the topology of a network changes over time. It is also hard to describe the topological variance of the network using a static network model where it does not have any time features. Thus, we propose a weighted temporal network model to illustrate the time effect of social network problems. In this study, we also analyze the effect of friendship on human social interactions and activities. The relationships among networks are shown as well. Furthermore, we show the combined network model provides a highly efficient way to construct social networks.

Social networking focuses on social relationships (eg: friendships) diagrammed as nodes (points) and links (ties or edges between points). Social network analysis (SNA) examines features of such relationships within a social networking system, including how such social interactions change over time. SNA can measure and map connectedness or flow (eg: information, resources, etc.) within and across individuals, groups, and organisations. SNA can examine these ties in virtual- or geo-temporal spaces -- yielding rich mixed methods possibilities and wide application to a host of scientific phenomena. The advent of social media established a cultural meme that carries social network concepts to broader public audiences, and that reinforces SNAs path to be a powerful interdisciplinary approach. Google Ngram viewer shows the use of social network analysis in the corpus of books burgeoned in the late 1960s, and has continued to grow exponentially since the 1990s. The conceptual and methodological reach now extends both widely -- across scientific disciplines -- and deeply -- as field advances arise with the rapid pace of new inquiries.Facing this tremendous promulgation and diversification of SNA, this book distills essential frontiers across fields. Introducing emerging issues in the application of social network theory and SNA, and how these can or will be addressed, each chapter illuminates new trends or applications of a social network approach that can have wide potential impact in other disciplines. Conceptual advances (eg: applying the concepts of social networks such as peer influence on disease management and treatment adherence), as well as novel analytic approaches for studying properties of social networks are highlighted.

This volume engages the interface between the development of human lives and social relational networks. It focuses on the integration of two subfields of sociology/social science--the life course and social networks. Research practitioners studying social networks typically focus on social structure or social organization, ignoring the complex lives of the people in those networks. At the same time, life course researchers tend to focus on individual lives without necessarily studying the contexts of social relationships in which lives are embedded and “linked” to one another through social networks. These patterns are changing and this book creates an audience of researchers who will better integrate the two subfields. It covers the role of social networks across the life span, from childhood and adolescence, to midlife, through old age.

This book answers the question of whether we can apply evolutionary theories to our understanding of the development of social structures. Social networks have increasingly become the focus of many social scientists as a way of analyzing these social structures. While many powerful network analytic tools have been developed and applied to a wide range of empirical phenomena, understanding the evolution of social organization still requires theories and analyses of social network evolutionary processes. Researchers from a variety of disciplines have combined their efforts in what is an indication of some very promising future research and the work represented in this volume provides a basis for a sustained analysis of the evolution of social life.

The main interest of this research has been in understanding and characterizing large networks of human interactions as continuously changing objects. In fact, although many real social networks are dynamic networks whose elements and properties continuously change over time, traditional approaches to social network analysis are essentially static, thus neglecting all temporal aspects. Specifically, we have investigated the role that temporal patterns of human interaction play in three main fields of social network analysis and data mining: characterization of time (or attention) allocation in social networks, prediction of link decay/persistence, and information spreading. In order to address this we analyzed large anonymized data sets of phone call communication traces over long periods of time. Access to these observations was granted by Telefonica Research, Spain. The findings that emerge from our research indicate that the observed heterogeneities and correlations of human temporal patterns of interaction significantly affect the traditional view of social networks, shifting from a very steady to a highly complex entity. Since structure and dynamics are tightly coupled, they cannot be disentangled in the analysis and modeling of human behavior, though traditional models seek to do so. Our results impact not only the way in which social network are traditionally characterized, but more importantly also the understanding and modeling phenomena such as group formation, spread of epidemics, and the dissemination of ideas, opinions and information.

Social Networks with Rich Edge Semantics introduces a new mechanism for representing social networks in which pairwise relationships can be drawn from a range of realistic possibilities, including different types of relationships, different strengths in the directions of a pair, positive and negative relationships, and relationships whose intensities change with time. For each possibility, the book shows how to model the social network using spectral embedding. It also shows how to compose the techniques so that multiple edge semantics can be modeled together, and the modeling techniques are then applied to a range of datasets. Features Introduces the reader to difficulties with current social network analysis, and the need for richer representations of relationships among nodes, including accounting for intensity, direction, type, positive/negative, and changing intensities over time Presents a novel mechanism to allow social networks with qualitatively different kinds of relationships to be described and analyzed Includes extensions to the important technique of spectral embedding, shows that they are mathematically well motivated and proves that their results are appropriate Shows how to exploit embeddings to understand structures within social networks, including subgroups, positional significance, link or edge prediction, consistency of role in different contexts, and net flow of properties through a node Illustrates the use of the approach for real-world problems for online social networks, criminal and drug smuggling networks, and networks where the nodes are themselves groups Suitable for researchers and students in social network research, data science, statistical learning, and related areas, this book will help to provide a deeper understanding of real-world social networks.

Social networking is an innovation that has exploded in usage in a very short time span. You can now enjoy constant correspondence with friends from all parts of the world without ever having to leave your seat. In many ways, social networking is much better than all other forms of communication put together because of the wealth of information that can be exchanged in a very short time For instance, you can keep in touch with a friend who is travelling around the world; you can use smartphones to chat and the occasional video stream when said friend comes across something whose beauty cannot be aptly put into words e.g. a sunset, a colorful festival etc. This will allow you to experience a part of the world you never knew existed without ever having to heave your house.People have really taken to this form of instant communication, something that’s seen in the fact that social networks are the largest growing types of websites around. The growth of social networking has been accelerated by the fact that the programmers design very intuitive interfaces that allow people with virtually no prior online experience to easily become experts. While this in itself is a good thing, it causes people to ignore what is happening in the background. This is better explained with an illustration:Margret sits in front of her computer, switches it on and loads her browser. She then loads the URLs for her preferred social networks, logs into her accounts and starts communicating with her friends. These communications involve uploads of pictures and videos, commenting on her friends’ posts, making her own posts and the like. She then realizes that John, her globetrotting brother is currently online. She loads the instant messenger and John decides to show her the Roman coliseum using the inbuilt video feature on his smartphone. While this real time online tour is going on she decides to read up on the news. Being a news junkie, she has added all the fan pages of popular news outlets to her friends list so that she can get all important updates without having to go to all individual sites. So far so good.While she is immensely enjoying herself, all the information being transmitted through cyberspace is available to all her friends and the owners and administrators of the servers. Since she is not web savvy, she thinks (much to her detriment) that the persons handling her information are intrinsically benevolent. What she does not realize is that most social networks need money to run their servers, pay the employees, satisfy funders, and improve the architecture, R&D and the like. This means that they (social networks) find ways of selling off user information. This therefore means that within no time, she will start noticing ads about travel, news aggregators and all other things she showed an interest in, even in passing. Unbeknown to her, her naivety sets her up as the perfect victim for the numerous cyber stalkers and trolls always on the prowl.What most people don’t realize is that web technologies are first and foremost designed to make a profit. The most successful social networks and websites are those that made enough money to fine tune their marketing endeavors and to attract the attention of venture capitalists. This therefore means that the bottom line becomes the prime motivator; the Margrets of the world are just the minions being used to make that number bigger and bigger.When you go through the most popular social networks, you’ll just find a network of products and services being marketed by taking advantage of people’s desires. The end result is a mass of unsatisfied clients with a lot of useless information about products and services they do not want or need because of the constant bombardment from admen. Most people visiting social networking sites usually just want news updates and targeted marketing campaigns about the latest technological trends, music, developments in the automotive industry and whatever else tickles their fancy. They want to be able to willingly spend their resources on beneficial products and not to be forced to buy things by the aggressive marketing tactics being blatantly flaunted in the social networks of today.At the same time they would like to be able to have a modicum of control about which ads get to them. This can be equated to that strong desire to be able to select when a television commercial will be shown. You find that most people will not have a problem with listening or seeing an infomercial pitching a useful product; what people have a problem with is having a commercial about a car just when Jeremy Lin is about to make a slam dunk. Savvy advertisers and media managers saw this trend and therefore developed on-demand television. On demand television caused an immediate paradigm shift; first off people started enjoying the viewing experience more while advertisers were forced to be more creative when creating their commercials in a bid to draw in more converti
