Vladimir Batagelj and Andrej Mrvar developed theprogram package for large network analysis – Pajek (and its version PajekXXL for even larger networks). Pajek is usedwidely in scientific and nonscientific areas all around the world. Its usageincreased significantly after the monograph on Pajek was published in2005 by Cambridge University Press. Since than the book has recieved several revised versions and translations. The authors obtained "The William D. Richards, Jr.Software Award" given by the International Network for Social NetworkAnalysis (INSNA) for the program package Pajek in 2013. The shortexplanation emphasizes: "The award recognizes software developerswithout whom we would not have the tools we need to undertakenetwork analysis. This 2013 award highlights the breakthrough thinkingbehind Pajek in last 17 years. Pajek allowed us to visualize and explorelarge complex data and was the first software for networks with thisdesign principle in mind."

F.23 Development of new system-wide, normative and programme solutions, and methods
COBISS.SI-ID: 18270553The package »blockmodeling« was originally meant as an implementation of Generalized blockmodeling for valued networks. In addition, measures of similarity or dissimilarity based on structural equivalence and regular equivalence (REGE algorithms) can be computed and partitioned matrices can be plotted. It is still the only software that supports generalized blockmodeling of valued networks. Recently, the support for generalized blockmodeling of linked (e.g. multilevel) networks was added.
