Networks, Hierarchies, and Markets: Aggregating Collective Problem Solving in Social Systems
How do decentralized systems collectively solve problems? Here we explore the interplay among three canonical forms of collective organization—markets, networks, and hierarchies—in aggregating decentralized problem solving. We examine these constructs in the context of how the offices of members of Congress individually and collectively wrestle with the Internet, and, in particular, their use o...
متن کاملCollective problem solving in networks
Many complex problems in science, business, and engineering require a tradeoff between exploitation of known solutions and exploration of new possibilities. When complex problems are solved by collectives rather than individuals, this explore-exploit tradeoff is complicated by the presence of communication networks, which can accelerate collective learning, but can also lead to convergence on s...
متن کاملCollective Problem Solving using Social Compute Units
Service process orchestration using workflow technologies has led to significant improvements in generating predicable outcomes by automating tedious manual tasks but suffer from challenges related to the flexibility required in work especially when humans are involved. Recently emerging trends in enterprises to explore social computing concepts have realized value in more agile work process or...
متن کاملCorrelation, Hierarchies, and Networks in Financial Markets
We discuss methods to quantitatively investigate the properties of correlation matrices of a financial system. Correlation matrices play an important role in portfolio optimization and in several other quantitative descriptions of asset price dynamics in financial markets. Specifically, we discuss how to define and obtain hierarchical trees, correlation-based trees and networks from a correlati...
متن کاملGroupsourcing: Distributed Problem Solving Using Social Networks
Crowdsourcing and citizen science have established themselves in the mainstream of research methodology in recent years, employing a variety of methods to solve problems using human computation. An approach described here, termed “groupsourcing”, uses social networks to present problems and collect solutions. This paper details a method for archiving social network messages and investigates mes...
