How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A Stochastic Formulation of the Bass Model of New-Product Diffusion (2002, unknown): “114, Remark (2)) and 1/m as the probability for the tagged individual to be responsible for this adoption.”
Design patterns from biology for distributed computing (2006, background): “Examples include growth processes, signal propagation in certain neural networks [Arbib et al. 1997], epidemic spreading [Bailey 1975], or proliferation processes in the immune system [Janeway et al. 2001].”
A Gossip-Style Failure Detection Service (2009, background): “The probabilities involved in gossiping can be calculated using epidemic theory (see, for example, [3, 8, 10, 5]).”
Graph mining: Laws, generators, and algorithms (2006, methodology): “Viral propagation models: Epidemiological models have been used to study this problem [Bailey 1974], and two models have been borrowed from the disease propagation literature:”
Virus Spread in Networks (2009, background): “, [3], [6], [11], and [12]) mention the existence of an epidemic threshold .”
