Abstract:
Nowadays the analysis of dynamics of and on networks represents a hot topic in the Social Network Analysis playground. To support stu-dents, teachers, developers and researchers we developed a novel frame-work, named NDlib, an environment designed to describe diffusion sim-ulations. NDlib is designed to be a multi-level ecosystem that can be fruitfully used by different user segments. Upon NDlib, we designed a simulation server that allows remote execution of experiments as well as an online visualization tool that abstracts its programmatic interface and makes available the simulation platform to non-technicians.
