Social network analysis attracted interests from both the research and business communities for a strong potential and variety of applications. In addition, this interest has been fuelled by the large success of online social networking sites and the subsequent abundance of social network data produced. A key aspect in this research field is the influence maximization in social networks. In this paper we discuss an overview about the models and the approaches widely used to analyse social networks.
