Re: Social Network Analysis

[Wayne Smith <wayne.smith () CSUN EDU>]

Mr. Hord,

In addition to a deep literature review, I recommend asking your
question to the UCINET group.  See:

        http://www.analytictech.com/ucinet/UCINET_list.htm

UCINET is the one of the popular software tools used for SNA and these
folks can provide some pointers (to articles and researchers, not just
help with the software).

You might also want to skim the abstracts (and later, the proceedings)
of the the major conference in the field (INSNA) that will occur in two
weeks.  See:

        http://www.insna.org/2008/Sunbelt_28_Program.pdf

For example, one of the papers to be presented is entitled "Monitoring
Corporate Password Sharing Using Social Network Analysis".  Not quite
terrorism, per se, but most likely within your scope of interest (and of
this email group).

Cordially,

Wayne Smith
Lecturer
Department of Management
CSU Northridge
