&lt;p&gt;Differing network structures and dynamics will affect possible algorithms that attempt to make use of these networks, but little is known of these impacts. Accordingly, we developed a CommunityNetSimulator (CNS), a simulator that combines various network models, as well as various new social network analysis techniques that are useful to study online community (or virtual organization) network formation and dynamics.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
