The aim of this project is to characterize, study and model the complex
networks that emerge from usage patterns over the Internet.
Many coevolving networks are at play as people communicate:
physical networks (routers, autonomous systems),
behavioral networks (traffic between IP hosts), overlay networks (P2P),
application networks (Web links, email), semantic networks (related
pages/sites/services, search engines), and social networks
(communities implicitly formed by referral, collaboration, recommendation,
trust, and authority).
We are studying how all these networks influence and feed on each other
in a complex information ecology, and how these interactions affect
their evolution and their impact on the global processes of information
discovery, retrieval, and utilization.
