Summary:
Socially aware networking is an emerging research field that aims to realize novel network services by applying social network analysis (SNA) techniques. Conducting socially aware networking studies requires knowledge of both SNA and communication networking, but it is not easy for communication networking researchers who are unfamiliar with SNA to obtain comprehensive knowledge of SNA due to its interdisciplinary nature. To fill the knowledge gap for networking researchers who are interested in socially aware networking but are not familiar with SNA, this paper briefly introduces three types of important SNA techniques for socially aware networking: identification of influential nodes, link prediction, and community detection. Then, how these techniques are used in socially aware networking is discussed.
