Student projects

We are welcoming students interested in working on trustlet.org, a transparent, cooperative environment for the scientific research of trust metrics on social networks. Our code is open source (GPL), written in Python. We would like to work with you on one of the following projects:


 * 1) visualization of social networks
 * 2) implementation of trust metrics and evaluation of trust metrics on network datasets
 * 3) integration of our code into the Network Workbench framework (Java)
 * 4) your own great idea related to trust metrics and/or social networks

With us you can write papers and participate in international conferences. You can work at FBK/IRST (in Povo, Trento) and/or collaborate remotely through our subversion repository and our wiki.

Our software is free, so if you work with us all your work will be public. So you can directly link to the code (e.g. from your CV). You will also be able to actually use your work elsewhere. Most of the text (and other content) of our wiki is free as well, and you will be able to use it elsewhere. We would like to use our mailinglist for communication. If you don't feel comfortable in English, Paolo is a native speaker of Italian, and Kasper spricht anstaendiges deutsch.

Please [mailto:kasper.souren@gmail.com contact us] if you are interested in this project, or if you have further questions.
