Abstract

Influence propagation is studied in various contexts with significant practical potential applications such as viral marketing, monitoring people opinions, social psychology analysis and communities discovery. All the previously mentioned applications are concerned about the role played by the user in social network and his/her effect on other users. The current literature lacks approaches that identify influential users in social networks and analyze users ranking with respect to the users interactivity to the disseminated content.
