Abstract

This paper establishes a multi-agent model on the spreading and governance of online negative word-of-mouth and examines the differences between the spreading and governance mechanism between regular network and small-world network. Simulation results show that the spreading and governance characteristics in different networks can be affected by the network size and structure, maturity of the community, etc.
