SUMMARY:A Framework for Analysis of Dynamic Social Networks
CREATED:20060921T110000Z
DESCRIPTION:Abstract<br>Finding patterns of social interaction within a p
 opulation has  wide-ranging applications including: disease modeling\, c
 ultural and  information transmission\, phylogeography\, conservation\, 
 and  behavioral ecology. Social interactions are often modeled with  net
 works. A key characteristics of social interactions is their  continual 
 change. However\, most past analyses of social networks are  essentially
  static in that all information about the time that  social interactions
  take place is discarded. I will present  a new mathematical and computa
 tional framework that enables  analysis of dynamic social networks and t
 hat explicitly makes use of  information about when social interactions 
 occur. I will discuss several  algorithms for obtaining information abou
 t the structure of dynamic  social networks in this framework and pose m
 any open questions.  The research is joint work with J. Saia (UNM)\, D.I
 .Rubenstein\, S.Sundaresan\, and I. Fischoff (Princeton)<p>Bio:Dr. Tanya
  Berger-Wolf is an assistant professor at the Department ofComputer Scie
 nce at the University of Illinois at Chicago.  Her researchis in applica
 tions of algorithmic and data mining techniques topopulation  biology\, 
 both human (epidemiology) and animal\, from geneticsto social interactio
 ns.Dr. Berger-Wolf has received her B.Sc. in Computer Science andMathema
 tics from Hebrew University (Jerusalem\, Israel) in 1995 and herPh.D. in
  Computer Science from University of Illinois atUrbana-Champaign in 2002
 . She has spent two years as a postdoctoralfellow at the University of N
 ew Mexico working in computationalphylogenetics and a year at the Center
  for Discrete Mathematics andTheoretical Computer Science (DIMACS) doing
  research in computationalepidemiology.
