***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.sfu.ca/~insna/ ***** Dear SocNet-ers, I have a question. I'm trying to think of a network of contacts that is not an actual information exchange network in terms of a such. But I'm afraid that I'll have a lot of noise. By noise I mean that when A gets information from B and B gets information from C (A and C are not connected), the information A gets from C (through B) will not be correct. Think for example of gossip. Someone cuts his finger and after a couple of steps the story will be that he cut off his hand - this is what I mean by noise. Does anyone know about some research on noise in the information exchange network? Maybe it's called differently, as I couldn't get anything under this search (I got some information exchange network concerning noise, noise emitters and stuff like that). Thank you for your help.
