Title: Analysis of SIGMOD's (Special Interest Group on Management of Data)
       co-authorship graph

Author(s): Nascimento MA, Sander J, Pound J

Source: SIGMOD RECORD 32 (3): 8-10 SEP 2003

Abstract:
In this paper we investigate the co-authorship graph obtained from all
papers published at SIGMOD between 1975 and 2002. We find some interesting
facts, for instance, the identity of the authors who, on average, are
"closest" to all other authors at a given time. We also show that SIGMOD's
co-authorship graph is yet another example of a small world-a graph topology
which has received a lot of attention recently. A companion web site for
this paper can be found at http://db.cs.ualberta.ca/coauthorship.
