Abstract

Nowadays dealing with social network analysis becomes more and more attractive. It is especially true for the field of agent-based modeling, in which represented actors are connected with other, with which they communicate. First, the paper introduces the definition of a social network and social network analysis and its tendencies. Then it introduces the JUNG(Java Universal Network) Framework,which is an open-source library that provides a common and extendible language for manipulation, analysis and visualization of social network data that can be represented as a graph.
