A reliable inference of networks from observations of the nodes' dynamics is a major challenge in physics. Interdependence measures such as a the correlation coefficient or more advanced methods based on, e.g., analytic phases of signals are employed. For several of these interdependence measures, multivariate counterparts exist that promise to enable distinguishing direct and indirect connecti...

This study brings in the task interdependence as the antecedent for growing team social capital and increasing knowledge sharing among team members in IS project context in which heterogeneous members need to interact very closely. Data collected from 203 IS projects largely confirm the proposed research model. Between the task interdependence and team performance, the team social capital as we...

Interdependent setup-hold times are exploited during the design process to improve the robustness of a circuit. Considering this interdependence only during static timing analysis (STA), as demonstrated in the previous work, is insufficient to fully exploit the capabilities offered by interdependence. This result is due to the strong dependence of STA results on the specific circuit, cell libra...

In a musical ensemble such as a string quartet, the performers can influence each other’s actions in several aspects of the performance simultaneously. Based on a set of recorded string quartet exercises, we carry out a quantitative analysis of ensemble interdependence in four distinct dimensions of the performance (dynamics, intonation, tempo and timbre). We investigate the fluctuations of int...

The Interdependence and Nonseparability of Phenomena The concept of interdependence lies at the heart of the Buddhist vision of the nature of reality, and has immense implications in Buddhism regarding how we should live our lives. This concept of interdependence is strikingly similar to the concept of nonseparability in quantum physics. Both concepts lead us to ask a question that is both simp...

Researchers, pundits, and policy makers have long debated whether economic interdependence pacifies or provokes conflict among states. Here, I suggest how interdependence can do both. Valuable linkages offer a mechanism for signaling and coercion short of military violence that stands to increase moderate (non-militarized) conflict behavior while reducing more intense conflict or uses of force....

Interdependence theory presents a logical analysis of the structure of interpersonal situations, offering a conceptual framework in which interdependence situations can be analyzed in terms of six dimensions. Specific situations present specific problems and opportunities, logically implying the relevance of specific motives and permitting their expression. Via the concept of transformation, th...

To reap the value in diverse teams, leaders may try to manipulate structuralinterdependence – through task design – to foster synergistic collaboration. However, ambiguityabout the nature and appropriate intersections of members’ unique and valuable cognitiveperspectives can make it difficult to fully anticipate collaborative activity in task design. Here,teams need emergent...

in this paper a fuzzy analytical network process model for supporting the vendor selection process in strategic situations is suggested. first, the vendor evaluation problem is putting together by use of the multi-criteria decision-making (mcdm) approach and a five-step hybrid process, which incorporates the technique of fuzzy analytical network process. then the modified topsis (technique for ...

IS Leadership is distinctive from leadership in general because of the special interface between Information Technology and business. As the increasing complexity and interdependence in the Information Systems Development (ISD) context, this study proposes to examine the IS leadership from a distributed team level. Based upon Social Interdependence Theory, we argue that the inherent high level ...
