Social Simulation Based on Data of Networks Mediated by Blogs
Resumo
With the growing popularization of blogs, the development of tools that can extract and process data to present it in a clear and meaningful way becomes necessary so this obtained data can help the studies about the behavior of these networks. Under this aspect, in this work, blogs mediated networks were mapped using data available on the Internet to be used in the creation of computational models that can demonstrate the structure of these networks and allow to simulate situations based on obtained data.
