Utility Seeking in Complex Social Systems: An Applied Longitudinal Network Study on Command and Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Humans are autonomous, intelligent, and adaptive agents. By adopting social network analysis techniques, we submit a framework for the study of dynamic networks and demonstrate the use of actor-oriented specifications in longitudinal networks. Through the use of a unique command and control dataset from experiments run at the US Military Academy, we illustrate the power of testing hypotheses on actor utility profiles. We frame static, covariate factors onto communication networks, and find that statistical hypothesis testing indicates edge networks truly motivate soldiers to seek information, collaborate, and modify the social network around them into more comfortable configurations of triad closure and edge reciprocity, when compared to hierarchical networks: a finding with profound implications to the study of complex, adaptive social systems.

متن کاملA new virtual leader-following consensus protocol to internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles with generic network topology under communication and parasitic delays
In this paper, a new virtual leader following consensus protocol is introduced to perform the internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles under generic network topology. In all previous studies on multi-agent systems with generic network topology, the control parameters are strictly dependent on eigenvalues of network matrices (adjacency or Laplacian). Since some ...

متن کاملAn Effective Method for Utility Preserving Social Network Graph Anonymization Based on Mathematical Modeling
In recent years, privacy concerns about social network graph data publishing has increased due to the widespread use of such data for research purposes. This paper addresses the problem of identity disclosure risk of a node assuming that the adversary identifies one of its immediate neighbors in the published data. The related anonymity level of a graph is formulated and a mathematical model is...
متن کاملModelling and Compensation of uncertain time-delays in networked control systems with plant uncertainty using an Improved RMPC Method
Control systems with digital communication between sensors, controllers and actuators are called as Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In general, NCSs encounter with some problems such as packet dropouts and network induced delays. When plant uncertainty is added to the aforementioned problems, the design of the robust controller that is able to guarantee the stability, becomes more complex. In...
