Introduction to stochastic actor-based models for network dynamics
Stochastic actor-based models are models for network dynamics that can represent a wide variety of influences on network change, and allow to estimate parameters expressing such influences, and test corresponding hypotheses. The nodes in the network represent social actors, and the collection of ties represents a social relation. The assumptions posit that the network evolves as a stochastic pr...
متن کاملExplaining the Role of Management Accounting Information System in Strategy Formulation with Actors Network Approach
The real challenge of business environment is derived from a situation where organizations need to find opportunities on how to introduce ideas and new products to market that provide future earnings stream. Management accounting is used as a tool in this process and provides information on opportunities and threats. The purpose of this research is to explain the role of management accounting i...
متن کاملSFI Program on "Emergence of States and Markets"
In the social as well as in the biological sciences, one of the major outstanding puzzles is the constitution of actors (or phenotypes). This in spite of the fact that most understandings of social dynamics--from the short-term production of innovations to long-term transitions between regimes--hinge crucially on changing functionalities of actors. The dynamics of macro system change and the dy...
متن کاملCrawling Posture Learning in Humanoid Robots using a Natural-Actor-Critic CPG Architecture
In this article, a four-cell CPG network, exploiting sensory feedback, is proposed in order to emulate infant crawling gaits when utilized on the NAO robot. Based on the crawling model, the positive episodic natural-actor-critic architecture is applied to learn a proper posture of crawling on a simulated NAO. By transferring the learned results to the physical NAO, the transferability from simu...
متن کاملToward a synthesis of complex adaptive systems and actor-network theory
In this paper we consider the commensurability of complex adaptive systems theory and actor-network theory to study co-evolutionary dynamics of IS emergence. We argue that the theories are defensible meta-theoretically when deployed from the philosophical position of critical realism. We provide a brief example drawn from a case study into the emergence of the phenomenon of research management ...
