SUMMARY:The Flow of Information in Complex Networks - Jon Kleinberg (Corne

DESCRIPTION:The study of complex networks has emerged over the past severa
 l years as a theme spanning many disciplines\, ranging from mathematics an
 d computer science to the social and biological sciences.  A significant a
 mount of recent work in this area has focused on the development of probab
 ilistic and algorithmic models that capture some of the qualitative proper
 ties observed in large-scale network data\; such models have the potential
  to help us reason\, at a general level\, about the ways in which real-wor
 ld networks are organized.  We focus here on a set of research questions r
 elated to flow of information through such networks\, with a particular em
 phasis on mathematical models for information flow in human social network
 s and their reflections in the on-line world.\n\n
