Abstract. The importance of a node in a directed graph can be measured by its PageRank. The PageRank of a node is used in a number of application contexts
Social networks provide interesting algorithmic properties that can be used to bootstrap the security of distributed systems. For example, it is widely believed that social networ...
—This paper presents Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) as a promising technique to derive unbiased estimates of node properties in unstructured overlay networks such as Gnutella. ...
