Abstract

Influence propagation is an important research issue in social networks. Influence propagation means that the status or the disposition of nodes get changed by new idea, information and gossip propagated by other nodes. Influenced nodes also make other nodes influenced across the network. The influence propagation problem based on `word of mouth` referral is to find most influential nodes set in networks to maximize influence. In this paper, we study the influence measuring and finding most influential nodes set in Delay-Tolerant Networks. It is difficult to measure exact influential power in Delay-Tolerant networks where network topology is not stable due to the nodal mobility. In this paper, we propose a distributed scheme that each node constructs -clique community structure and estimates local influential power in Delay-Tolerant Networks. Simulation results show that the influential nodes information estimated by proposed scheme is in agreement with a global view of influential nodes information.
