The paper proposes a new approach to modelling online social systems users’ behaviours based on dynamic time wrap algorithm integrated with online system’s databases. The proposed method can be applied in the field of community platforms, virtual worlds and massively multiplayer online systems to capture quantitative characteristic of usage patterns.
