Abstract

This article proposes an approach related to the analysis of social networks, as well as the practical possibilities of using these networks to study the flow of e-mails between employees in an organization. The aim of the work is to analyze contacts between individual employees of a corporation, used to appoint leaders (key users) to spread information or influence people in the immediate vicinity. The proposed method has been tested on the Enron E-mail Dataset.
