Abstract
A method for selecting multiple target nodes within a social network is proposed. The method for selecting multiple target nodes within a social network includes a selecting step, a simulation nodes passing amount calculating step and a target nodes replacing step. The selecting step includes selecting a plurality of simulation nodes from a plurality of nodes in the social network according to a simplified swarm forming rule. The simulation nodes passing amount calculating step includes calculating a simulation passing amount of the simulation nodes. The target nodes replacing step includes replacing the simulation nodes and the simulation passing amount with a plurality of target nodes and a target passing amount. If the simulation passing amount is smaller than the target passing amount, the selecting step, the simulation nodes passing amount calculating step and the target nodes replacing step are repeatedly executed. Thus, the present disclosure puts messages to specific target nodes to achieve numerous target passing amount.
