covery from social networks, which is concerned with finding&#13;
people who are not only authoritative but also sociable in the&#13;
social network. We formalize this problem as an optimiza-&#13;
tion programming problem. Taking the co-author network&#13;
as a case study, we define three objective functions and pro-&#13;
pose two methods to combine these objective functions. A&#13;
genetic algorithm based method is further presented to solve&#13;
this problem. Experimental results show that the proposed&#13;
solution can effectively find the staring people from social&#13;
networks.&#13;
