This book explores the evolution of social network analysis and mining (SNAM), a field that originated in social and business communities but has expanded significantly in recent years. The rise of online social platforms, email logs, phone records, and instant messaging systems has driven the development of advanced techniques for analyzing social networks, drawing heavily on graph theory and machine learning.
As the Web increasingly becomes a social medium, it fosters human interaction, the sharing of experiences and knowledge, and the formation and evolution of communities. This transformation has amplified the importance of SNAM in fields such as academia, politics, homeland security, and business, where understanding the complex relationships between networked actors is crucial.
This book presents a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge research and developments in SNAM, offering a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of social networks and their applications.
