IMPACT-HIV Group Meeting

Social Networks and Disease Spread:

LAURENS BAKKER – School of Computing Science & MoCSSy Programme, SFU

PHILIPPE GIABBANELLI – Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology & MoCSSy Programme, SFU

Since the late 1990s Social Networks have become the subject of much research in fields as varied as Sociology, Economics, Epidemiology, Computing Science, and even (Socio)physics. The generic question underlying much of this research was “What are the consequences/effects of the social network for/on …?” (fill in the blank). In order to answer (parts of) this question, one needs to know what a social network is and what it does. In this talk we will address popular understandings and misunderstandings of what social networks are and what they do, as well as somewhat more involved properties, taking disease spread as an example.
