Abstract
This paper investigates the evolving co-authorship networks generated by the scientific production of EdMedia, SITE and E-Learn, three world conferences promoted by the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE). The studied data corresponds to measurements made over the scientific papers submitted to these conferences from 1999 to 2011. The conducted analysis is based on cumulative co-authorship networks and presents several statistics about the most relevant temporal evolving characteristics phenomena exhibited by these three scientific collaboration communities. The dynamics and activity of these networks, as well as their morphology and connectivity, are observed to provide meaningful interpretations of the measurements found in the context of a collaboration network of researchers.
