Abstract
In this chapter, we will give a brief description to the main types of networks (with emphasis on social networks), structural properties of networks, basic concepts in graph theory, a historical background showing how social network analysis developed over years, the most important measures used in SNA and finally examples for SNA modeling tools that are used today by researchers of the field.
Keywords: Social networks, social network analysis, graph theory, modeling tools, Blogs, Wiki, Web 2.0, Information networks, Technological networks, UCINET, Pajek, Density, Vertices, Mixing patterns, Degree distribution, Biological networks.
