24 May 2012Why social network analysis is important to Air Force applications
Social network analysis is a powerful tool used to help analysts discover relationships amongst groups of people as well
as individuals. It is the mathematics behind such social networks as Facebook and MySpace. These networks alone cause
a huge amount of data to be generated and the issue is only compounded once one adds in other electronic media such as
e-mails and twitter. In this paper we outline the basics of social network analysis and how it may be used in current and
future Air Force applications.
