=head1 NAME

SNA::Network::Algorithm::Betweenness - Calculate betweenneess values for all nodes


=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use SNA::Network;

    my $net = SNA::Network->new();
    $net->load_from_pajek_net($filename);
    ...
    my $r = $net->calculate_betweenness;


=head1 METHODS

The following methods are added to L.

=head2 calculate_betweenness

Calculates exact betweenness centrality values for all nodes.
Stores the values under the hash entry B for each node object.
Uses the algorithm published by Ulrik Brandes in 2001.
