In this scope, Twitter is the most studied social network in viral marketing and the rumor spread is a widely researched problem. This paper contributes with a survey of research works which study rumor diffusion in Twitter. Moreover, the most useful aspects of these works to build new multi-agent based simulations dealing with this interest- ing and complex problem are discussed. The main four research lines in rumor dissemination found and discussed in this paper are: exploratory data analysis, rumor detection, epidemiological modeling, and multi- agent based social simulation. The survey shows that the reproducibility in the specialized literature has to be considerably improved. Finally, a free and open-source simulation tool implementing several of the models considered in this survey is presented.", booktitle = "7th International Conference on Computational Collective Intelligence Technologies and Applications", editor = " N{\'u}{\~n}ez, M., Nguyen, N.T., Camacho, D., TrawiƄski, B", isbn = "978-3-319-24068-8", keywords = "survey;twitter;rumor", month = "September", pages = "113-123", publisher = "Springer-Verlag", series = "LNCS", title = "{A} {S}urvey of {T}witter {R}umor {S}preading {S}imulations", url = "https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319240688", volume = "9329", year = "2015", }
