Abstract

Analysis of structural properties and dynamics of networks is currently a central topic in many disciplines including Social Sciences, Biology and Business. CINET, a cyber infrastructure for such studies, introduced the concept of supporting network analysis as a service. The basic idea is to allow experts in various disciplines to focus on obtaining domain-specific insights from the results of network analyses instead of worrying about programming details and allocation of computational resources needed to carry out the analyses. A basic version of CINET was released in May 2012. This paper discusses CINET 2.0, a significantly enhanced version that supports complex network analyses through a web portal. CINET 2.0 has already been used for teaching courses related to Network Science at several US universities. In this paper, we discuss how CINET 2.0 significantly extends CINET 1.0 through enhancements to some components and the addition of new components.
