Understanding Large Temporal Networks and Spatial Networks
Vladimir Batagelj, Patrick Doreian, Anuška Ferligoj, Nataša Kejžar: Understanding Large Temporal Networks and Spatial Networks: Exploration, Pattern Searching, Visualization and Network Evolution, Wiley, October 2014.
This book explores social mechanisms that drive network change and link them to computationally sound models of changing structure to detect patterns. This text identifies the social processes generating these networks and how networks have evolved.
Pajek - the software accompanying the book
The Application sections in the book show how to perform social network
analysis with program Pajek. It uses a particular version of the
software, namely Pajek3. Its installation file
is available at Pajek home / download page.

After you download the zipped data files, extract the data files to your personal network analysis folder (the default folder will be \LargeNets). For each chapter, a new subfolder will be created containing the data files belonging to that chapter.
