About scale-free networks

Nowadays I am working on scale-free networks and community structure identification in these networks. These networks are quite interesting because of their nature, they are evolving complex networks. Community structure identification in these networks is a hot topic; especially because of the popularity of social networks in daily life. Community structure is important in friendship network, e-mail traffic network etc. It is important for security, virus protection too. Grabbing community structure from some raw data is terrible; ie identifying community structure from e-mail logs in a company. However there will be many commercial products in the following years because the globe is not a safe place anymore and governments will follow suspects and their communities from their phone calls, e-mail traffic even if from chat logs. At this point, if a node in the network is known(here the node is a person), then the whole community (which may be a crime network) can easily be identified.

The work is hard. Currently I am dealing with Mark Newman's Fast community detection algorithm. Thanks to him, he provides many useful ideas however implementation of the algorithm for huge networks is not so easy. JUNG (http://jung.sourceforge.net) can also be used for complex network analysis but it seems very difficult to combine my code with JUNG libraries.

Another day

Another work day has gone. Tomorrow I will be joining Eurasia-05 Technology fair:) But works have to be done afterwards.
Life is better without thesis...

Is there life after holiday?

After the warm weather and beautiful days with peace, rainy Istanbul weather cooled me down. Nice trip is over and work life again.
No need to worry, if you don't have a master thesis to be completed after the holiday:(

Never mind, I have the power, energy:)
