Online social networks have revolutionized the way we interact and share information over the Internet, and social networking applications such as YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, Facebook, etc., have millions of active users. While already being enormously popular, we currently have a very limited formal understanding of online social networks. The goal of this research project to fill in this gap by working towards a theoretical foundation for the understanding and algorithm design for online social networks. The two main topics of the project will be on providing a mathematical models and results on how online social networks are formed, and on how we can use the understanding of the topologies and characteristics of online social networks to design efficient algorithms and protocols for content search, sharing, and distribution. Below we provide a brief

在线社交网络已经彻底改变了我们在互联网上互动和分享信息的方式，社交网络应用程序，如YouTube、Flickr、MySpace、Facebook等，拥有数百万活跃用户。虽然已经非常受欢迎，但我们目前对在线社交网络的正式理解非常有限。本研究项目的目标是通过为在线社交网络的理解和算法设计提供理论基础来填补这一空白。该项目的两个主要主题将是提供在线社交网络如何形成的数学模型和结果，以及我们如何利用对在线社交网络拓扑和特征的理解来设计有效的算法和协议，用于内容搜索、共享和分发。下面我们提供一个简要说明
