Mining and Analyzing Organizational Social Networks Using Minimum Spanning Tree

This work focuses on using data mining techniques to identify intra and inter organization groups of people with similar profiles and that could have relationships among them. Our clustering method identifies clusters with a link mining-based technique that uses the minimum spanning tree to construct group hierarchies. In this paper we analyze the scientific scenario in Computing Science in Brazil, assessing how researchers in the best universities and research centers collaborate and relate to each other.
