In this paper we present a multi-cell analytic model for multi-class cellular networks. We investigate the effects subscriber mobility has on bandwidth control strategies when the network supports multiple classes of subscribers having different bandwidth requirements. We introduce control strategies from non-mobile networks and examine them in a mobile environment. The expressions for call blo...

Adaptive routing algorithms have been frequently suggested as a means of improving communication performance in multicomputers. These algorithms, unlike deterministic routing, can utilize network state information to exploit the presence of multiple paths. Adaptive routing, however, is complex and expensive. Before such schemes can be successfully incorporated in multiprocessor systems, it is n...

We propose a new definition of the creative industries in terms of social network markets. The current definition of the creative industries is based on an industrial classification that proceeds in terms of the creative nature of inputs and the intellectual property nature of outputs. We propose, instead, a new market-based definition in terms of the extent to which both demand and supply oper...

Despite cross-disciplinary interest in social influence among adolescent peer groups, significant variations in collecting and analyzing peer network data have not been explored, so it is difficult to disentangle substantive and methodological differences in peer influence studies. We analyze two types of network data (self-reported friendships and multi-informant reports of children who “hang ...

Learning in social settings is a complex phenomenon that involves multiple processes at individual and collective levels of agency. Thus, a richer understanding of learning in socio-technical networks will be furthered by analytic methods that can move between and coordinate analyses of individual, small group and network level phenomena. This paper outlines our implementation of an analytic fr...

A network analytic approach to the study of organizational response to crises is used to determine the existence and form of integrated crisis management units (ICMU). ICMUs are network organizations that emerge in response to severe crises such as major oil spills, earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural and man made disasters. Although ICMUs have received considerable attention from scholar...

This tutorial will provide an overview of how network theoriesand visual-analytic methods are used to understand and enabledigital government

The aim of this article is to determine how to select raw material supply options for paper making factory. The decision-making is examined within the framework of benefits, opportunities, costs, and risks (BOCR). A hierarchy is used to prioritize the BOCR themselves are prioritized using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) ratings approach. A control hierarchy is then created and prioritized ...
