Multi-level Social Networks

This project aims at designing an innovative demonstrator that can be implemented on social networking platforms to do real-time visualization of multiplex social interactions. This demonstrator is a generic decision support tool which can potentially be applied in many industrial contexts. MLSN is based on recent findings in academic research on graph drawing techniques and on network analysis. From these points of view, MLSN contributes to three topics: - Social networks theory - New clustering techniques to qualify the centrality of networks’ members and to analyze their similarities. - visualization of the manner people interact to exchange resources in a multi-level context MLSN associates researchers in human- computer interaction, sociology of networks and economics of the Internet (ADIS), and an industrial partner.
