The Diffusion of Viral Content in Multi-layered Social Networks

Modelling the diffusion of information is one of the key areas related to activity within social networks. In this field, there is recent research associated with the use of community detection algorithms and the analysis of how the structure of communities is affecting the spread of information. The purpose of this article is to examine the mechanisms of diffusion of viral content with particular emphasis on cross community diffusion.
