a r t i c l e i n f o Using network theory this research explains innovation as an interactional, networked, systemic phenomenon. The proposed interdependency, dynamism, variety (IDV) model attempts to detail actors' roles in intra-and in-terfirm knowledge diffusion during the fuzzy front-end of innovation (FFEI). Based on in-depth interviews, the results reveal that actors at the FFEI use thei...

Mobile, unmanned, power and resource-rich devices, called actors, deployed within a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) application area, enable faster response times to events. Due to cost constraints, only a few actors can be placed within a WSN application area. Determining which actor or set of actors should respond to an event is important, because the correct decision will increase the event re...
