Albert-laszlo BarabasiAlbert-Laszlo Barabasi is a physicist affiliated with the University of Notre Dame. He is noted for research into scale free networks. Born Hungarian, now a US Permanent Resident. Barabasi is widely regarded as having initiated the development of small works network theory, and in particular identifying three major factors in the development of small worlds networks: - "Barabasi has found that the websites that form the network (of the WWW) have certain mathematical properties. The conditions for these properties to occur are threefold. The first is that the network has to be expanding, growing. This precondition of growth is very important as the idea of emergence comes with it. It is constantly evolving and adapting. That condition exists markedly with the world wide web. The second is the condition of preferential attachment, that is, nodes (websites) will wish to link themselves to hubs websites) with the most connections. The third condition is what is termed competitive fitness which in network terms means its rate of attraction. Reference
