Self-similarity in the Web (paper from ACM Trans on Internet Technology)
posted by jhendler at 2002-12-27 15:58 (+) tags:
jhendler: paper from some IBM Almaden folks shows a fractal nature on the web, fits curves and develops some parameters
jhendler: bears out the intuitions TimBL developed in http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Fractal.html
AaronSw: What TimBL calls "Fractal" is called "power law" or "small world" by network scientists. A good, reasonably non-technical introduction is Linked: The New Science of Networks
_joshua: non-acm link to paper at http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/dill01selfsimilarity.html
jhendler: also the math that powers Trustbot (See http://www.mindswap.org/papers/Trust.pdf)
jhendler: downloadable version of earlier conf paper and some related work is on the author's page at http://www.almaden.ibm.com/software/theory/Web/index.shtml
