Misinformation in Social Networks. WWW 2011. One of the popular applications in social networks is viral
marketing, where you want to find out a (hopefully small) number of “seed”
users to activate in the network such that adoption of a product spreads
virally from them to much of the rest of the network. This paper studies viral
marketing when competing campaigns are at work.
You may also want to take a look at these
“old” papers in social networks.
