Centre for Data Processing

The latest research shows that there is an average of four degrees of separation between any two users on major social networks. Computer scientists and sociologists deal with the “small world” phenomenon.

What does the Centre do?

Big data is created all around us. Going to the store generates bills, people interact on social networks, write joint papers or work on projects; the cells of the organism influence each other, as well as genes. The analysis of these various interactions may reveal previously unseen, complex patterns of behaviour, such as the identification of social media influencers or scientific leaders in their fields.

At the Centre for Data Processing and Complex Networks, we conduct research in network theory applied in the analysis of complex and social networks, as well as machine learning. Every day, we analyse big data generated by content from social networks, various index databases, as well as biological data. This is how we achieve the modelling, detection and prediction of real-world events.

Marko Mišić is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Engineering and Informatics of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade. He graduated in 2007, completed his master’s studies in 2010, and obtained his PhD degree from the study programme of Computer Engineering and Informatics at the same University. He teaches several courses in programming, algorithms and data structures, parallel programming, multiprocessor systems, social network analysis and bioinformatics.
His research fields include the analysis of complex and social networks with applications in bioinformatics and machine learning, bibliometrics and scientometrics, high-performance computing, parallel programming and GPU programming, as well as plagiarism detection in programming code. He has participated in several academic and industrial projects involving the application of graphics processors and data parallelisation, as well as practical analysis of social networks. He is the author of numerous papers in scientific journals, as well as over 50 papers presented at international and national conferences.
