English Abstract

In this thesis, the problem of finding cliques has addressed in large graphs such as social networks.

The problem of finding all cliques in a graph is known to be NP problem.

A new heuristic approach for finding cliques has provided.

The new approach represents a graph coloring technique which is based on the using of Largest Degree Coloring algorithm, which colors a graph starting with the largest degree node in a particular graph.

This proposed approach follows the largest cliques in a graph and moves to finding smaller cliques.

The proposed approach with the algorithm for finding cliques in heuristic method and the exhaustive search algorithm has used as a reference.

A lot of experiments has been conducted in this study on different data sets, 72 experiments of them by applying the three algorithms on variants data sets generated by our java program, and five experiments data set taken from standard DIMACS benchmark and last data set consist of simulated social networks, in range between 10000 nodes and 50000 nodes.

hopefully to apply the proposed approach in real social networks, knowing that the exhaustive search may take relatively large time.

the new approach based on graph coloring has achieved better complexity and detectability of cliques.

However, the results of a proposed approach have shown that there is enhancement in time complexity than other two approaches that used in comparison to proposed algorithm and the number of detected cliques.
