In recent times, the study of complex network systems, for example communication networks such as the Internet, Smart Grids or Social Networks, have received significant attention. While newly emerging data sets in these domains now allow for a broad quantitative exploration and empirical validation of theoretical models towards a better understanding of complex networks, the enormous size of complex...
There are opinion leaders in a society who represent the opinion of general public. The general public accepts information not only by mass media but also by opinion leaders. Since the late 20th century, the number of Internet users has increased fast. Many users interact with each other in an online social network. This makes the Web community similar to the real society. Thus it is a natural task...
Web 2.0 applications are a rich source of multimedia resources, that describe sights, events, whether conditions, traffic situations and other relevant objects along the user's route. Compared to static sight descriptions, Web 2.0 resources can provide up-to-date visual information, which has been found important or interesting by the other users. Some algorithms have been suggested recently for the...
SNS (Social Network Service) characterized by Facebook and Twitter has become the next generation paradigm of obtaining data, information and knowledge on the web. The aim of this paper is to recommend relevant expert communities to users on the social network by exploiting the extended object-based thesaurus. It is basically an object- based thesaurus taking the urls of domain experts as its instances...
The world is changing, Technology is revolutionizing the way we relate and interact with the environment. The knowledge of future technologies will allow us to adapt to change with time, anticipate its implementation and thus be able to work with them; we must not forget that future generations will be born with new technologies. This paper raises a number of developments, which for one reason or...
In the fast evolving social web domain, users have a growing demand for consuming context-aware social experiences and digital content. However, users currently have their social context distributed everywhere, and have limited ownership and control of it. On the other hand, application developers and content providers are having a hard time in reaching out to the right users and creating personalized...
Social computing and networking has caused a dramatic evolution in the way people collaborate and interact via the Internet. Essentially, social computing represents the collection of technologies that gather, process, compute, and visualize social information. This new social structure has emerged creating an array of loosely integrated social components. However, a paradigm shift is needed to adopt...
In times of increasing traffic-related problems, such as air-pollution or traffic jams, ride-sharing is one of the most environmentally friendly and pleasantest ways to travel. The many benefits are offset by a multitude of prejudices and fears, including security concerns and a heavy scheduling and coordinating burden. For this reason this paper introduces vHike an easy-to-use management system for...
In China, social media networking is being used by college students. What effect will Social networking have on the life and learning of college students? What is the real using state of students and the existing problems? Whether does social networking have potential educational value to college students, and whether would college students have applied social networking actively and healthily? In...
Word processing was one of the earliest uses for small workstations, but we quickly learned that desktop computers were far more than e-typewriters. Similarly, social media offers tools that could significantly improve our effectiveness at managing the avalanche of information and decisions associated with space flight projects. However, “could” does not necessarily equal “should”. We must wield two-edged...
In a network, bridging nodes are those nodes that from a topological perspective, are strategically located between highly connected regions of nodes. Thus, they have high values of the Bridging Centrality (BC) metric. We recently introduced the Localized Bridging Centrality (LBC) metric, which can identify such nodes via distributed computation, yet has an accuracy equal to that of the centralized...
Internet access networks in general and wireless mesh access networks in particular, are the bottleneck of today's communication networks and consequently most strongly responsible for determining the user satisfaction. The limited bandwidth and the fact that access network are most often used as mere bit pipes are however unfavorable for the users' quality of experience (QoE). The lack of application-specific...
