Abstract
Social relationships and networking are key components of human life. Social network analysis provides both a visual and a mathematical analysis of human relationships. Recently, online social networks have gained significant popularity. This popularity provides an opportunity to study the characteristics of online social network graphs at large scale. An online social network graph consists of people as nodes who interact in some way such as members of online communities sharing information using relationships among them. In this paper a state of the art survey of the works done on community tracking in social network. The main goal is to provide a road map for researchers working on different measures for tracking communities in Social Network.
