Abstract: Social Network Analysis is a fascinating multi-disciplinary endeavor that uses techniques from complex network analysis and graph theory to study the system of relations between a set of actors. Actors are discrete individuals, or collective social units. A social network is a finite set of actors and the relationships defined on them. Such networks are studied using metrics and techniques stemming from complex network analysis, typically involving estimating diameter, cores, groups, degree distribution of nodes, centrality measures (e.g., eigenval centrality, Google page-rank), clustering coefficient and navigability.
