Social Network Analysis: Methods and Applications

TLDR
This paper presents mathematical representation of social networks in the social and behavioral sciences through the lens of Dyadic and Triadic Interaction Models, which describes the relationships between actor and group measures and the structure of networks.

Application of Graph Sparsification in Developing Parallel Algorithms for Updating Connected Components

TL;DR: The results show that the updating is scalable (10X on 16 processors for larger networks) and to the best of the knowledge this is the first parallel implementation of graph sparsification.

Identifying Modules in Complex Networks by a Graph-Theoretical Method and Its Application in Protein Interaction Networks

TL;DR: A method based on graph-theoretical clustering for identifying modularity structure in complex networks based on minimum spanning tree that has computational compexity of polynomial-time with low order and can be used to deal with large-scale networks.
