Version Information

FaSE Version 1.0 - Launched 30 January 2016

Compilation and Usage

To compile the Source Code use the make command (at least on Linux). If you wish to cleanup extra compilation files run the command make clean.

To use the FaSE software run ./FASE -h to display a small help information with instructions on what arguments should be provided.

Main Settings: ./FASE -s <Subgraph Size> -i <input file> [arguments...]

All commands:

-h : Displays this help information
-s <Integer> : Subgraph Size
-i <Filename> : Name of input file (Format in Readme)
-d : Directed Subgraph (Default undirected)
-o : Name of output file (Default is stdout)
-dt : Detailed Result (Displays all subgraph types and occurrences)
-z : Use 0-based input (Suitable for input files starting at node 0)
-tm : Use Adjacency Matrix LS-Labeling (Default is Adjacency List Labeling)
-l : Use Adjacency List Only (Suitable for Large Scale or large networks [>10^5 nodes])
-q : Ignore arguments and prompt input

Input Information

The inputed networks should be in an edge list format, meaning that the input file should only contain lines with information about an edge, starting with node 1 or 0 (can be specified in the arguments) and with all edges from 0/1 to <Number of edges> - 1 / <Number of edges> being used.

Folder Information

The main folder contains all source files from the FaSE Source Code, this Read Me file and two folders. The "nauty" folder contains the code from Brendan McKay's Nauty algorithm for isomorphism tests. The "Networks" folder contains the used networks in the process of testing the FaSE algorithm, organized by "Undirected" and "Directed" folders straightforwardly in .edges files as described above (1-based).

Extra Information

The Source Code was developed and tested on a Linux environment, however it should work on other OSs too.

This Source Code was developed along the following articles:

ASONAM'2013: Pedro Paredes and Pedro Ribeiro - Towards a Faster Network-Centric Subgraph Census.
SNAM: Pedro Paredes and Pedro Ribeiro - FaSE: Fast Exact and Approximate Subgraph Census
NetSci: Pedro Paredes and Pedro Ribeiro - Large Scale Graph Representations for Subgraph Census

This software uses the nauty program version 2.4 by Brendan McKay. Therefore, nauty's license restrictions apply to the usage of FaSE.
