Abstract
An apparatus for modeling a contact network may include a processor. The processor may be configured to store a plurality of contacts lists, which collectively comprise a contact network. Each contacts list may be comprised of a plurality of contact entries and may be associated with a user of a remote device. The processor may further be configured to model the contact network using one or more modeling parameters. The processor may be configured to generate a plurality of suggested contact entries for a user based at least in part upon the one or more modeling parameters used to model the contact network. The suggested contact entries may be extracted from contact entries stored in the contacts network. Corresponding methods, systems, and computer program products are also provided.
