To be clear, comments, are embedded bits of text to remind you of something about the context of your document; they are sort of like electronic sticky notes and are useful, because they can be easily turned on and off, and because they don’t show up when you print the rest of your document.

This is partly due to the distributed nature of the problem, but is also a result of the time-varying dynamics that a network experiences. Inspired by the way in which cells alter their behaviour in response to diffused protein concentrations, an abstract representation, termed a discrete gene regulatory network (dGRN), is introduced.

An important, yet often overlooked, aspect of it is relation privacy, such as friendship, affiliation, collaboration, or any contractual association. A specific challenge of protecting relation privacy stems from the fact that it involves more than one users, and thus is beyond the control of any individual user (e.g., through privacy settings in the user profile)
