The paper introduces development interfaces, supported by graph theories, for applications description. The web applications unification was determined using frames of the Multimedia Applications Management Shell (MAMS), together with various controlling facilities and functions of interactions. The elaborated shell was provided with RDF and RSS format compatibilities, needed for the web resources safe distribution.","PeriodicalId":425748,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Computational Aspects of Social Networks","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129461394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through analysis of the features, we can obtain information that can simply describe the Web page. This simple description contains strong information about the social group the page is intended for. If the user uses this information to refine the search, then he identifies himself as a member of a certain social group.

In some cases, it is difficult to obtain the structure information of real networks. Network generators provide a way to generate test networks for simulation. We present a random network generator to generate test networks with prescribed power law distributions of degrees and a finely tunable average clustering coefficient. The generator is composed of three steps. First, the degree sequences are generated following the given degree power law exponents. Second, the generator constructs a test network with these degree sequences. Third, the test network is modified to meet the prescribed average clustering coefficient as closely as possible. Experiments show the impact of the clustering coefficient on network connectivity using this generator. The comparison with existing random network generators is presented.","PeriodicalId":425748,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Computational Aspects of Social Networks","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128039289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our robot is a mobile robot with face recognition, natural language dialogue, as well as mapping capabilities. The robot is also equipped with a social database containing information about the people it interacts with, and is also connected in real-time to the “Facebook” online social networking website, which contains information as well as partially tagged pictures. Our system demonstrates the benefits of this triangle of interconnection: it is not only the case that facebook information can lead to more interesting interactions, but also that: facebook photos enable better face recognition, interactive robots enable robot-mediated publishing of photos and information on facebook. Most importantly, as we shall see in detail, social information enables significantly better and faster face recognition, as an interesting bidirectional relationship exists between the “friends” relation in social networks and the “faces appear in the same picture” relation in face recognition. We will present algorithms for exploiting this relationship, as well as quantitative results. The two main novelties of our system are: this is the first interactive conversational mobile robot that utilizes and publishes social information in facebook, and is also the first system utilizing the social context of conjectured identities in a photo for better face recognition.","PeriodicalId":425748,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Computational Aspects of Social Networks","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128305822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, typical drawing algorithms do not work properly, especially when the size of the networks grows. Edge crossings appear while the drawing space is not adequately filled resulting in an unsightly display. The approach presented in this paper is able to print the networks filling all the available space in an aesthetic way, while avoiding edge crossings.

However, most of the information is available after the spread itself, and preemptive assessment is far from trivial. Here, we investigate the use of agent-based simulations to model such outbreaks in a stylised urban environment. For most diseases, infection of a new individual may occur from casual contact in crowds as well as from repeated interactions with social partners such as work colleagues or family members. Our model therefore accounts for these two phenomena.Presented in this paper is the initial framework for such a model, detailing implementation of geographical features and generation of social structures.
