Abstract

Social networks overlaid on technological networks account for a significant fraction of Internet use. Through graph theoretic and functionality models, this paper examines social network analysis and potential implications for the design of technological networks, and vice versa. Such interplay between social networks and technological networks suggests new directions for future research in networking.
