Abstract:
The paper addresses the analysis of a social system with identified groups and roles assigned to users. The important elements of this representation of a society and its dynamics are, on one hand, the identification of various important users in the whole network or in given groups, and, on the other hand, the events describing how the groups evolved. In this paper, we propose an approach integrating both these areas that would allow us to draw conclusions regarding the influence of important persons on the groups evolution and may make it possible to predict the future of the group on the basis of its current structure.
