Modelling and Mining of Network Information Systems
http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~mominis/index.html

A library, no matter how vast, is limited by the efficiency of its cataloguing and searching system. So it is with the World Wide Web. With the emergence of the Web as the pre-emininent information storage and retrieval system, the need for better organization and searching systems has become pressing. Between the pin-prick of desire for information and the fruition of a screen full of relevant links lies the latency of intelligent web search. We are getting used to seeing the world through the Web; the time has come to see every world as a web. Every collection of interlinked data (a networked information space) can be organized and searched like the Web. Networks of phone calls, networks of financial transactions, networks of social interactions can all be analyzed by the techniques used for the Web.

The secret to successfully searching the web has been known to the builders of better search engines. On the web, as in other networked information spaces, the required information about the information lies in the link structure. Understanding this link structure mathematically and being able to translate this knowledge into applications is the point of this project. The theorems, tools and techniques of graph theory are at our disposal. This has been added to Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog and Bot Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
