Data Management for Social Networking

Summary: Survey of data-management challenges for social networks: graph computations (centrality, link prediction, communities, diffusion) and integrated graph–text tasks (social search, team formation). Evaluates SNS DBMS design tradeoffs, highlights gaps vs. desiderata, and lists open research problems. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
