Positive influence dominating set in e-learning social networks

Abstract

In recent years, the development of E-learning is rapid. Learning efficiency can be greatly improved if E-learning users' social networks properties can be effectively utilized. However, the nodes in most research models are the same type. The focus of our study is on E-learners’ positive influence between their relationship. In this paper, we proposed a new model and selection algorithm named Weight Positive Influence Dominating Set (WPIDS) and analyzed its efficiency through a case study. By comparing the differences between WPIDS and that of Positive Influence Dominating Set (PIDS), we found that our model and algorithm are more effective than those of PIDS.
