Finally, we also deal with key issues that need to be tackled in order to turn this research into practice, such as learning the strength with which individuals in a network influence each other, as well as the practical aspects of this research including the availability of datasets and software tools for facilitating research.

Wei Chen is a Senior Researcher in Microsoft Research Asia, Beijing, China. He is also an Adjunct Professor at Tsinghua University. He received Bachelor and Master of Engineering degrees from Tsinghua University, and a Ph.D. De gree from Cornell University. His research interests include computational and game theoretic aspects of social networks, algorithmic game theory, distributed computing, and fault tolerance. He won the William C.
