Fractalizing social networks

Fractals are self-similar structures that exist widely in nature. We are aiming the current work to prove that social networks, although not a naturally generated structure but one created by humans within the World Wide Web, show a fractal behavior as well and as such, will experience a self-similar kind of evolution. In the present work we attempt to find through the study of fractal behavior, how the introduction of a new element in the social network will impact in the existing network structure and in the network growth. Also our main interest is into how the new node will start interacting with the existing communities in order to eventually build its own.X Workshop bases de datos y minería de datosRed de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI
