Abstract
A social network is a structure made up of nodes, which are also called social actors, linked together with edges, which are also called social links. Social networking has been evolving during the past years. A lot of researches have been conducted in that field and a lot of applications have been arisen. In social networking applications, a social network in constructed for the specific application field and then analyzed based on some parameters to try to understand, analyze, and predict the behavior of the constructed network. In this work, we analyze two social networks constructed for the Dubai Financial Market to try to understand and predict the behavior of the stock market as a result to the financial crises and the cause of the stock market collapse.
