Opening Plenary: Albert-László Barabási
November 6th, 2006 christina.pikas
Dr. Barabási is Emil T. Hofman Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics at Notre Dame. He is also the director of the Center for Complex Network Research. He has written a few books on networks.
His talk was first an overview of the generalities of social network analysis, then continued on to discuss scale-free networks. He defined them in several ways and indicated that these networks have been found in nature in many different fields.
He spoke very quickly and covered quite a bit of ground, but he held the crowd in thrall. I took some real time notes and posted them on my personal blog.

This was an excellent talk and was interesting that the `bursting’ of reponses to emails and the letters by Einstein and Darwin was also seen by the SIG/KM Panelists at 10:00 on Monday on Blogging.
