Abstract
Data stream generated from different Web 2.0 applications may contains data which is best described by graphs. Graph streams thus generated show big data characters, including volume and velocity. The challenges of graph stream algorithms are twofold; each edge needs to be processed only once (due to velocity), and it needs to work on highly constrained memory (due to volume). Diffusion degree, a measure of node centrality, can be calculated for static graphs using a single Breadth-First Search (BFS). However, tracking Diffusion Degree in a graph stream is nontrivial. This paper proposes an estimator for diffusion degree for graph streams, which can be used to extract top-$k$ influencing nodes for viral marketing in social networks. Comparative experiments show that the proposed graph stream algorithm is equivalent to or better than the exact diffusion degree-based algorithm.
