What Can We Learn About Distributed Problem Solving Networks Via Web Analysis?
نویسنده
چکیده
The mode of Internet-enabled organization referred to here as “distributed problem-solving networks” (DPSNs) is also known as bazaar governance (Demil and Lecocq, 2006; Hope, 2008), commons-based peer production (Benkler, 2006), crowd sourcing, collective wisdom and wikinomics (Tapscott and Williams, 2007). There is currently debate in the academic literature as to how this mode of organizing relates to other governance structures: hierarchy (where collaboration is centrally coordinated through managers), market (where coordination is via price signals) and network (where coordination is via relationships between actors). Demil and Lecocq (2006) and Hope (2008), among others, regard the bazaar as a discrete, fourth, form of governance structure for coordinating transactions.

Prediction of user's trustworthiness in web-based social networks via text mining
In Social networks, users need a proper estimation of trust in others to be able to initialize reliable relationships. Some trust evaluation mechanisms have been offered, which use direct ratings to calculate or propagate trust values. However, in some web-based social networks where users only have binary relationships, there is no direct rating available. Therefore, a new method is required t...
متن کاملLearning other Agents' Preferences in Multiagent Negotiation
In multiagent systems, an agent does not usually have complete information about the preferences and decision making processes of other agents. This might prevent the agents from making coordinated choices, purely due to their ignorance of what others want. This paper describes the integration of a learning module into a communication-intensive negotiating agent architecture. The learning modul...
متن کاملAdopting New International Health Instruments – What Can We Learn From the FCTC?; Comment on “The Legal Strength of International Health Instruments - What It Brings to Global Health Governance?”
This Commentary forms a response to Nikogosian’s and Kickbusch’s forward-looking perspective about the legal strength of international health instruments. Building on their arguments, in this commentary we consider what we can learn from the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) for the adoption of new legal international health instruments.
متن کاملOutlier Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Distributed Principal Component Analysis
Detecting anomalies is an important challenge for intrusion detection and fault diagnosis in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To address the problem of outlier detection in wireless sensor networks, in this paper we present a PCA-based centralized approach and a DPCA-based distributed energy-efficient approach for detecting outliers in sensed data in a WSN. The outliers in sensed data can be ca...
متن کاملAn Approach to Analyzing the Need for Meta-Level Communication
This paper presents an analysis of static and dynamic organizational structures for naturally distributed, homogeneous, cooperative problem solving environments, exemplified by distributed sensor networks. We first show how the performance of any static organization can be statistically described, and then show under what conditions dynamic organizations do better and worse than static ones. Fi...
