Abstract

Social networks are currently the most studied structures due to their popularity among IT users. In our paper we will focus on the dynamics of the dissemination of information in these networks. We will introduce the advanced heuristic conceptual model of individuals’ behavior in the network which is based on need for information and knowledge for solving specific problems; the proposed multi-agent model of the social networks dynamics is based on this concept. This version of the model was adapted for scale-free and growing networks. Experiments conducted with new model were focused on verifying its behavior with respect to knowledge about the type of modeled networks and on observation of dynamic effects in them; the results will be presented as well.
