We evaluate the validity of data sampling by examining dynamics of communication centralization, which vary across multiple communication channels. We also introduce a method for intensity-based smoothing in dynamic social network analysis. %B Proceedings of the IFIP 2.13 Working Conference on Open Source Software (OSS) %I Springer Boston %C Milan, Italy, 7-10 September %P 131-142 %@ 978-0-387-09683-4 %G eng %> https://crowston.syr.edu/sites/crowston.syr.edu/files/DSNAWigginsIFIP.pdf
