Spreading of information within social media and techniques related to viral marketing take more and more attention from companies focused on targeting audiences within electronic systems. Recent years resulted in extensive research centered around spreading models, selection of initial nodes within networks and identification of campaign characteristics affecting the assumed goals. While social networks are usually based on complex structures and high number of users, the ability to perform detailed analysis of mechanics behind the spreading processes is very limited. The presented study shows an approach for selection of campaign parameters with the use of network samples and theoretical models. Instead of processing simulations on large network, smaller samples and theoretical networks are used. Results showed that knowledge derived from relatively smaller structures is helpful for initialization of spreading processes within the target network of larger size. Apart from agent based modeling, multi-criteria methods were used for evaluation of results from the perspective of costs and performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
