Editing Small World Networks 2008 (section)

=== Week 2 ===


Wenrui (Linda): 

Sweet and I had a short meeting last Wednesday, we decided to separate our proposal into three parts. Each person will talk about a little bit in each part. because we think it's necessary for both of us to understand every parts to get started.

For myself, I have prepared some definition about the seminar, and
also I have read the book called "linked". But I haven't finish it yet.
For the coming week, I will continue work on the proposal. maybe need to get
start to make the PPT. find some fun video from www.youtube.com.



Zhujing (Sweet):

Linda & I managed our coming proposal this Wendnesday. There will be 3 parts 
and each part will take 5 mins(total 15 mins):

1.Introductions and background

What is "Small World Network"?

What is "Six Degrees of Separation"?

Is this theory existing in our life?


2.Show some fun things to support that the theory is existing around us

Relationship network of Hollywood stars

High school dating

A pretended network

About the pretended one, I have an idea. Recently, I am playing a wii game,
"Super Mario Galaxy". The whole world in the game just 6 galaxys and each 
galaxy has 4-5 planets. If Mario wanna go any planet, he needs to fly to the 
centre of the galaxy first which the planet belongs to, and then tracks the 
network amoung the planets to get the destination.I sopport every planet is a 
individual node and each flying track is a link. We can calculate manually that 
how many degrees Mario needs :)

3.The serious things, we have no idea about this part, but we will think about 
it this weekend.
