Abstract :
Based on the complex network theories, we studied the evolution of reply networks on BBS in this paper. At first, we built directed reply networks using data information downloaded from BBS plates. Then we studied the evolutionary characteristics of network topology with time, including the number of additional nodes and links, clustering coefficient, characteristic path length, and degree distribution. With these statistical data, the regular patterns of evolutionary process of reply networks are discovered which helps to get potential information on BBS and to construct evolutionary model of reply networks on BBS.
