The paper on "Balancing Speed and Coverage by Sequential Seeding in Complex Networks", by J. Jankowski, P. Brodka, P. Kazienko, B. K. Szymanski et al. has been accepted for publication in Scientific Reports, vol. 7 2017.

Mar. 27, 2017: Information spreading in complex networks is often modeled as diffusing information with certain probability from nodes that possess it to their neighbors that do not. Information cascades are triggered when the activation of a set of initial nodes – seeds – results in diffusion to large number of nodes. (more)
