Abstract


Centrality usually refers to metrics that assess the relative importance of vertices. However, in Time-Varying Graphs (TVGs) it is possible to assess the importance of time instants (or states) of a graph throughout its existence. Determining important time instants may be useful to defining best times to spread, generate models and predict the behavior of TVGs. In this paper, we define time centrality in TVGs. Time centrality evaluates the relative importance of time instants. We present and evaluate two time centrality metrics focused on information dissemination processes. Our results show that the best classified time instants, according to created metrics, can make the diffusion process up to 2.5 times faster and achieve twice the number of nodes in certain cases.
