StOCNET

StOCNET is a project that builds an advanced software system for statistical social network analysis. The first stage, made possible by grant 40-20-020 of NWO (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research), was finished in April, 2003. Further developments are planned for the next years. The software for StOCNET has been developed in collaboration between software engineers of Science Plus and the researchers who contributed the programs that are included in StOCNET.
Suggestions can at all times be given by contacting us.
