With the continued advances of Web 2.0, health-centered Online Social Networks (OSNs) are emerging to provide knowledge and support for those interested in managing their own heal...
Social network analysis became a common technique used to model and quantify the properties of social interactions. In this paper, we propose an integrated framework to explore th...
We address the combinatorial optimization problem of finding the most influential nodes on a large-scale social network for two widely-used fundamental stochastic diffusion models...
The study of complex networks led to the belief that the connectivity of network nodes generally follows a Power-law distribution. In this work, we show that modeling large-scale ...

Influential people have an important role in the process of information diffusion. However, there are several ways to be influential, for example, to be the most popular or the...
