A social network or bio network is one of the complex networks that are formed by connecting specific relationships between interacting objects. Usually, these networks consist of community structures. Automatically detecting the structures is an important technique to understand and control the interaction objects. However, the topologies and structures of the networks change by interactions of the objects, with respect to time. Conventional techniques for finding the community structure have a high computational complexity. Additionally, the methods inefficiently deal with repeated computation concerning graph operation. In this paper, we propose an incremental technique for detecting interaction-based communities in dynamic networks. The proposed technique is able to efficiently find the communities, since there is an awareness of changed objects from the previous network, and it can incrementally reuse the previous community structure.

A clustering process for nodes in a network is required to find communities from social networks. General clustering algorithm needs to be configured the number of communities in advance. The number of communities is a very important element because the result of clustering can be different, depending on it. In this paper, we define the external community relationship which is distinguished between communities. Using the external community relationship as an evaluation metric of clustering result, we propose a method to determine the number of communities dynamically. We compare the proposed method to existing methods based on the accuracy of the number of communities and the average purity of communities. Our results show favorable performance for these criteria compared to the existing methods that were evaluated.

유비쿼터스 환경에 존재하는 스마트 객체들 사이의 협력으로 지능적인 서비스를 제공하는 시스템을 구축하기 위한 새로운 패러다임으로 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅이 제안되어, 활발히 연구되고 있다. 커뮤니티는 해결해야 할 목표를 가지며 목표 달성을 위해 필요한 멤버들을 구성하고, 멤버들은 목표 달성을 위해 상호작용한다. 이러한 상황에서 멤버의 결함은 멤버 사이의 상호작용을 중단시키는데, 원활한 멤버 사이의 상호작용이 커뮤니티의 목표를 달성하는 가장 중요한 문제이므로, 결국 멤버의 결함은 커뮤니티의 목표 달성의 실패를 가져온다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 컨텍스트 온톨로지를 이용한 멤버의 복제 방법 및 복구 알고리즘을 제안한다. 각 멤버는 자신의 상태를 커뮤니티에 전송하며, 커뮤니티는 모든 멤버의 상태를 온톨로지로서 유지한다. 멤버의 결함이 발견되면, 커뮤니티는 결함이 발생한 멤버의 상태 온톨로지를 추론하여 이 멤버를 대신할 새로운 멤버를 커뮤니티로 끌어들인다. 커뮤니티에 들어온 새로운 멤버는 다른 멤버들과 즉시 상호작용을 할 수 없기 때문에, 커뮤니티로부터 결함이 발생한 멤버의 온톨로지를 전송 받아 추론하여 자신의 상태를 결함이 발생한 멤버의 상태로 전환시킨다. 이 과정이 끝나면, 새로운 멤버는 자연스럽게 다른 멤버들과 상호작용을 할 수 있으며, 커뮤니티는 목표 달성을 위해 계속적으로 나아간다. 본 논문에서는 이 알고리즘의 빠르고 효율적인 수행을 위해 OWL(Web Ontology Language)로 기술된 컨텍스트 온톨로지를 사용하였으면, Jade 에이전트 플랫폼을 이용하여 제안한 방법을 실험, 분석 하였다.

Finding communities from network data including social networks can be done by clustering the nodes of the network as densely interconnected groups, where keeping interconnection between groups sparse. To exploit a clustering algorithm for community detection task, we need a well-defined similarity measure between network nodes. In this paper, we propose a new similarity measure named "Common Neighborhood Sub-graph density" and combine the similarity with affinity propagation, which is a recently devised clustering algorithm.

This study explored the potential associations among older adults' online community uses, socialization, and social isolation. Results from the hierarchical regression analysis indicated that the quality and size of personal networks composed of online community members positively influences older adults' socialization and reduces social isolation. However, the frequency of meeting with online community members in offline settings was not significantly associated with socialization. Moreover, the amount of time using online communities indirectly and significantly affected social isolation, mediated by socialization. Results from this study address the positive roles of online community uses in overcoming psychological difficulties among elderly people.

This paper studies the change process and characteristics of the 'Korean community cinema movement'. The community cinema movement that has been active since the 2010's can be said to be a turning point in the Korean film culture movement. However, academic and policy definitions and research on the community cinema movement are extremely insufficient and only appear in some seminars or policy research reports. This study aims to discover the characteristics of the 'Korean community cinema movement' in the flow of the Korean alternative screening movement. A comparative study through a diachronic approach to the Korean alternative screening movement and case analysis of community cinema is intended to identify the characteristics of Korean community cinema and suggest policy measures for which a support system has not yet been prepared.

Online communities have become substantial aspects of people's daily lives. However, only a few communities succeed and attract the majority of users, whereas the vast majority struggle for survival. When various communities coexist, important factors should be identified and examined to maintain attraction and achieve success. The concept of coexistence as been extensively explored in organizational ecology literature. However, given the similarities and differences between online communities and traditional organizations, the direct application of organizational theories to online contexts should be cautiously explored. In this study, we follow the roadmap proposed by Davis et al. (2007) in conducting agent-based modeling and simulation study to develop a novel theory based on the previous literature. In the case of two coexisting communities, we find that community size and participation costs can significantly affect the development of a community. A large community can attract a high number of active members who frequently log in. By contrast, low participation costs can encourage the reading and posting behaviors of members. We also observe the important influence of the distribution of interests on the topic trends of communities. A community composed of a population that focuses on only one topic can quickly converge on the topic regardless of whether the initial topic is broad or focused. This simulation model provides theoretical implications to literature and practical guidance to operators of online communities.

Online communities are getting more popular with the development of information technology. It is essential that community members participate actively and share their contents or opinions continuously for the success and growth of online communities. However, it is revealed that most of members just take the role of passive observer. They are lurking community information and contents without any contribution. In this sense, this study focuses on explore lurking behavior of online community members. This study investigates the effect of the characteristics of online community, community members, and personal traits on user's lurking intention. Member familiarity and community identity have a strong positive effect on de-lurking intention, while the perception of usefulness and ease of use for communities and member expertise have a negative effect on de-lurking intention. Interestingly, users with a low level of self-esteem have higher level of motivation of participation than those with a high level of self-esteem. Finally, this study proposes several strategies to enhance information and contents sharing in online communities.

Web 2.0은 개방형과 사용자 중심형이라는 특징으로 우리에게 많은 가능성을 안겨주기도 하지만 UCC에서 나타나는 문제점들의 예를 보면 그 정도가 상당히 심각함을 알 수 있다. 이러한 문제점을 분석하고 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 Wiki 시스템을 이용한 사용자 주도형 커뮤니티에 관한 연구를 하였다. 우선 Wiki 시스템의 특징을 이용하여 커뮤니티를 운영하고 운영상의 문제점을 발견, 분석하여 Web 2.0의 긍정적인 문화가 정착될 수 있도록 해결방안을 제시하였다. 이는 사용자들이 만들어가는 Web2.0 시대를 더욱 가능성 높이 만들어 줄 것이다.
