| Overview |
With half a billion active users, online social networks (OSN) have attained critical mass and triggered intense research interest in collaborative systems and the analysis of the structure and properties of online communities. In this seminar, we discuss the challenges and important questions posed by emerging online social applications Of particular interest are problems related to network and system architecture design that can best support emerging and future social and collaborative systems, and how those social networks can shape the design of existing distributed systems and real networks.
We will review a collection of interesting papers related to various aspects of OSNs. In each session, one student presents one (or two) paper(s) and leads the discussion. The student who presents a paper should submit a good summary of the paper to our paper review archive, called paperQ. All other students should read the paper prior to class and actively contribute in class discsusion. Grading will be P/NP.
