Write a 800-words summary
Read the paper by Leskovec, Kleinberg, and Faloutsos, Graphs over time: densification laws, shrinking diameters and possible explanations, that was published in KDD 2005. You might recall Kleinberg as the author of the HITS algorithm and Faloutsos as one of the 3 authors in the {Faloutsos, Faloutsos, Faloutsos} paper. The Graphs over Time paper talks about phenomena that occur when graphs evolve/grow over time and new graph models that reflect such phenomena. (You do not have to follow or master the theoretical contributions, just the basic concepts.) Write an approx. 800-word summary of the paper having two parts: i) summary of the papers contributions, ii) how the conclusions here can
benefit an urban computing scenario (suitably chosen by you).

To turn in
Prepare a brief (no more than one page) written answer to the following two questions.
Write up your answer using MS Word
One well-presented paragraph for each question is sufficient.
What do you believe is the central difference between the requirements analysis
approach(es) you studied in 5704 and the “participatory design”-based approach
discussed in the assigned material?
If you were to use this HCI-based approach on a new project, would you worry about
prematurely considering or making important design decisions during requirements
gathering? Why or why not?
