Preferential Attachment - a demonstration of JUNG and MASON integration

By Maciek Latek 2007
[Requires JFreeChart and JUNG]

This is a model of simple network dynamics inspired by Barabasi's preferential attachment theory. To compile and run, both MASON as well as JUNG are required, please refer to MASON and JUNG for instructions on how to set up project that would have required libraries. The jar file that combines all dependencies can be downloaded from here.

Following questions are covered in this demonstration:

In addition to that, one way of using MASON's new interfaces to JFreeChart to plot different things (a histogram in this case) is shown. From within the Model tab following parameters of the simulations can be set: Other things, like exact layout algorithm used and maximal degree of nodes, are hard coded.
