TL;DR
The co-authorship graph obtained from all papers published at SIGMOD between 1975 and 2002 is investigated, finding some interesting facts, for instance, the identity of the authors who, on average, are "closest" to all other authors at a given time.
Abstract
In this paper we investigate the co-authorship graph obtained from all papers published at SIGMOD between 1975 and 2002. We find some interesting facts, for instance, the identity of the authors who, on average, are "closest" to all other authors at a given time. We also show that SIGMOD's co-authorship graph is yet another example of a small world---a graph topology which has received a lot of attention recently.
