Structural analysis of social networks with respect to different levels of aggregation

Hans J. Hummell, Wolfgang Sodeur (1997)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Similarity:

The article aims at the integration of the two research traditions of multi-level and of network analysis. To this effect, a strategy is presented which can be traced back to P.F. Lazarsfeld and H. Menzel's typology of units and of their properties. After having extended their classification to take account of more network concepts than was needed at their time, the Lazarsfeld-Menzel-Classification is used as a conceptual instrument to translate a research question, which first looks...

Mechanical analogy of statement networks

Wojciech Cholewa (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper demonstrates briefly the reasoning capabilities in condition monitoring offered by systems based on statement networks. The usefulness of the networks considered results among others from possibilities of their optimization related to the minimization of contradictions between rules acquired from different knowledge sources. A mechanical analogy of such networks introduces an interpretation of statements as material points that are able to move. Dependencies between statements...

Social network evolution and actor oriented models. Applications in the fields of friendship formation, decision making, emergence of cooperation, and coalition formation

Evelien P. H. Zeggelink (1997)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Similarity:

We present an overview of different actor oriented models of network evolution, that have been developed in the last couple of years. The models are constructed in different fields of application and all have in common that the emergence of network structure is directly or indirectly of interest. Each model is based on a set of actors and a set of behavioral rules of these actors, resulting in interaction mechanisms and the coming into existence of some network pattern of relationships....

Modeling and simulation with augmented reality

Khaled Hussain, Varol Kaptan (2004)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

In applications such as airport operations, military simulations, and medical simulations, conducting simulations in accurate and realistic settings that are represented by real video imaging sequences becomes essential. This paper surveys recent work that enables visually realistic model constructions and the simulation of synthetic objects which are inserted in video sequences, and illustrates how synthetic objects can conduct intelligent behavior within a visual augmented reality. ...

Segmentation in personal networks

Tom A. B. Snijders, Marinus Spreen (1997)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Similarity:

A concept and several measures for segmentation of personal networks are proposed. It is argued that the implications of segmentation of personal networks are, in a sense, the opposite of those of segmentation of entire networks. The measures are illustrated by the example of the trust network in a civil service departement. For the case where relations in the personal network are observed by a sample rather than completely, estimators for the segmentation measures are given. ...
