Currently, online social networks such
as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, and Foursquare have become extremely
popular all over the world and play a significant role in people’s daily lives.
People access OSNs using both traditional desktop PCs and new emerging mobile
devices. With more than one billion users worldwide, OSNs are a new venue of
innovation with many challenging research problems.
In this survey, a comprehensive review
of state-of-the-art research related to user behavior in OSNs from several
perspectives is given. First, a discussion of social connectivity and interaction
among users. Also, investigation of traffic activity from a network perspective
is provided.
Moreover, as mobile devices become a commodity,
we pay attention to the characteristics of social behaviors in mobile
environments. Last but not least, we review malicious behaviors of OSN users,
and discuss several solutions to detect misbehaving users. The survey serves the
important roles of both providing a systematic exploration of existing research
highlights and triggering various potentially significant research in these
topics. READ FURTHER THE ATTACHED PRESENTATION FROM IEEE.
