This summary provides an overview of centrality measures in social network analysis:
1) There are several approaches to measuring centrality in a network, including degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, and eigenvector centrality. These measures capture different aspects of a node's importance or influence.
2) Degree centrality focuses on the number of ties a node has, closeness looks at distance to all other nodes, and betweenness considers dependency on shortest paths. Eigenvector centrality captures the influence of important neighbors.
3) Comparing centrality measures can provide insight into a network's structure and a node's role, such as brokering connections vs. being well-connected locally.

Social Network Analysis: What It Is, Why We Should Care, and What We Can Lear...Xiaohan Zeng
The advent of the social networks has completely changed our daily life. The deluge of data collected on Social Network Services (SNS) and recent developments in complex network theory have enabled many marvelous predictive analysis, which tells us many amazing stories.
Why do we often feel that "the world is so small?" Is the six-degree separation purely imagination or based on mathematical insights? Why are there just a few rockstars who enjoy extreme popularity while most of us stay unknown to the world? When science meets coffee shop knowledge, things are bound to be intriguing.
I will first briefly describe what social networks are, in the mathematical sense. Then I will introduce some ways to extract characteristics of networks, and how these analyses can explain many anecdotes in our life. Finally, I'll show an example of what we can learn from social network analysis, based on data from Groupon.

MODELING SOCIAL GAUSS-MARKOV MOBILITY FOR OPPORTUNISTIC NETWORK csandit
Mobility is attracting more and more interests due to its importance for data forwarding
mechanisms in many networks such as mobile opportunistic network. In everyday life mobile
nodes are often carried by human. Thus, mobile nodes’ mobility pattern is inevitable affected by
human social character. This paper presents a novel mobility model (HNGM) which combines
social character and Gauss-Markov process together. The performance analysis on this
mobility model is given and one famous and widely used mobility model (RWP) is chosen to
make comparison..
AN GROUP BEHAVIOR MOBILITY MODEL FOR OPPORTUNISTIC NETWORKS csandit
Mobility is regarded as a network transport mechanism for distributing data in many networks.
However, many mobility models ignore the fact that peer nodes often carried by people and
thus move in group pattern according to some kind of social relation. In this paper, we propose
one mobility model based on group behavior character which derives from real movement
scenario in daily life. This paper also gives the character analysis of this mobility model and
compares with the classic Random Waypoint Mobility model.

Inferring Peer Centrality in Socially-Informed Peer-to-Peer SystemsNicolas Kourtellis
Social applications implemented on a peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture mine the social graph of their users for improved performance in search, recommendations, resource
sharing and others. In such applications, the social graph that connects their users is distributed on the peer-to-peer system: the traversal of the social graph translates to a socially-informed routing in the peer-to-peer layer.
In this work we introduce the model of a projection graph that is the result of mapping a social graph onto a peer-to-peer network. We analytically formulate the relation between metrics in the social graph and in the projection graph. We focus on three such graph metrics: degree centrality, node betweenness centrality, and edge betweenness centrality. We evaluate experimentally the feasibility of estimating these metrics in the projection graph from the metrics of the social graph. Our experiments on real networks show that when mapping communities of 50-150 users on a peer, there is an optimal organization of the projection graph with respect to degree and node betweenness centrality. In this range, the association between the properties of the social graph and the projection graph is the highest, and thus the properties of the (dynamic) projection graph can be inferred from
the properties of the (slower changing) social graph. We discuss the applicability of our findings to aspects of peer-to-peer systems such as data dissemination, social search, peer vulnerability, and data placement and caching.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
4. Centrality in Social Networks Intuitively, we want a method that allows us to distinguish “important” actors. Consider the following graphs:
5. The most intuitive notion of centrality focuses on degree: The actor with the most ties is the most important: Centrality in Social Networks Degree
6. Degree Distribution In a simple random graph (G n,p ), degree will have a Poisson distribution, and the nodes with high degree are likely to be at the intuitive center. Deviations from a Poisson distribution suggest non-random processes, which is at the heart of current “scale-free” work on networks (see below).
8. Normalizing Degree If we want to measure the degree to which the graph as a whole is centralized, we look at the dispersion of centrality: Simple: variance of the individual centrality scores. Or, using Freeman’s general formula for centralization (which ranges from 0 to 1):
10. Closeness Centrality An actor is considered important if he/she is relatively close to all other actors. Closeness is based on the inverse of the distance of each actor to every other actor in the network. Closeness Centrality: Normalized Closeness Centrality
14. Betweenness Betweenness Centrality: Model based on communication flow: A person who lies on communication paths can control communication flow, and is thus important. Betweenness centrality counts the number of shortest paths between i and k that actor j resides on. b a C d e f g h
15. Calculating Betweenness Betweenness Centrality: Where g jk = the number of geodesics connecting jk , and g jk (n i ) = the number that actor i is on. Usually normalized by:
18. Information Centrality It is quite likely that information can flow through paths other than the geodesic. The Information Centrality score uses all paths in the network, and weights them based on their length.
19. Graph Theoretic Center Graph Theoretic Center (Barry or Jordan Center). Identify the point(s) with the smallest, maximum distance to all other points. Value = longest distance to any other node. The graph theoretic center is ‘3’, but you might also consider a continuous measure as the inverse of the maximum geodesic
20.
21.
22. Intepretation of Eigenvector Centrality Bonacich Power Centrality: The magnitude of reflects the radius of power. Small values of weight local structure, larger values weight global structure. If is positive, then ego has higher centrality when tied to people who are central. If is negative, then ego has higher centrality when tied to people who are not central. As approaches zero, you get degree centrality.
26. Dimensions of Centrality In recent work, Borgatti (2003; 2005) discusses centrality in terms of two key dimensions: Radial Medial Frequency Distance Degree Centrality Bon. Power centrality Closeness Centrality Betweenness (empty: but would be an interruption measure based on distance)

36. Total Effects Centrality (Friedkin). Very similar to the Bonacich measure, it is based on an assumed peer influence model. The formula is: Where W is a row-normalized adjacency matrix, and is a weight for the amount of interpersonal influence
37. Find that each matter for interpersonal communication, and that communication is what matters most for interpersonal influence. + + + Noah Friedkin: Structural bases of interpersonal influence in groups
45. Baker & Faulkner: Social Organization of Conspiracy Questions: How are relations organized to facilitate illegal behavior? They show that the pattern of communication maximizes concealment, and predicts the criminal verdict. Inter-organizational cooperation is common, but too much ‘cooperation’ can thwart market competition, leading to (illegal) market failure. Illegal networks differ from legal networks, in that they must conceal their activity from outside agents. A “Secret society” should be organized to (a) remain concealed and (b) if discovered make it difficult to identify who is involved in the activity The need for secrecy should lead conspirators to conceal their activities by creating sparse and decentralized networks.
46. Baker & Faulkner: Social Organization of Conspiracy Secrets in a Southern Sorority:
53. From an individual standpoint, actors want to be central to get the benefits, but peripheral to remain concealed. They examine the effect of Degree, Betweenness and Closeness centrality on the criminal outcomes, based on reconstruction of the communication networks involved. At the organizational level, they find decentralized networks in the two low information-processing conspiracies, but high centralization in the other. Thus, a simple product can be organized without centralization. At the individual level, that degree centrality (net of other factors) predicts verdict,
