Spatial or geographical distance is influential in many socio-economic networks, but its combination with graph theoretical analysis is challenging. In this study, we define a node and network level spatial dispersion index which combines tie strength and spatial distance in a weighted graph to measure average spatial dispersion of socio-economic a...

Yerleşim sistemlerinin çözümlenmesine yönelik çalışmalar, 1930’lu yılların başından itibaren pek çok farklı ülkede yapılmış ve yapılmakta olan çalışmalardır. Ancak geçmişi neredeyse yüzyıla varan bu tür çalışmalar çok büyük oranda kentlere ve büyük kentlere odaklanmakta ve nüfus gibi tek bir ölçüt üzerinden kurgulanmaktadır. "Türkiye’de Kentsel ve...

This paper is a summary of research designs in social network analysis based research.

In large-scale open source software (OSS) innovation ecosystems that incorporate firms, a variety of measures are taken to tame the potentially chaotic activities and align the contributions of various participants with the strategic priorities of major stakeholders. Such taming rests on the dual desires of this emergent community of firms to unlea...

Purpose Change is continuous and leaves many digital traces in contemporary organizations, while research on change usually lacks such continuity. The purpose of this paper is to test and explore the claim that change can be monitored through employee discourse. In doing so, the authors introduce basic text mining methods to detect prevailing keyw...

Creating random network structures is one of the essential requirements for realistic simulations of complex networks. Real networks exhibit a multi-level structure which does not lend itself to existing generative models. This study considers the problem of fusing two random networks towards bridging the multi-level network creation problem. Using...

Computers have an increasing variety of uses in virtually every aspect of our personal life and work-related activities. Children from early ages play games on tablets, Grandma uses a small digital device to track her blood pressure, and parents work with smartphones and laptops during their commutes. A common characteristic of computers is that, f...

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) specification documents corpus spans three decades of Internet standards production. This chapter summarizes the results of an exploratory study on this corpus for understanding how this system of standards and its production have evolved in time. This study takes an alternative perspective, which consider...

Sanayinin YBS profesyonellerine talebi giderek artarken alanın karakteri de değişmektedir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle ilgili literatürde alan karakterinin nasıl ayrıştığı ve bunun müfredatlarla nasıl ilişkilendirildiği incelenmektedir.

Open source software (OSS) presents opportunities and challenges for developers to exploit its commons based licensing regime by creating specializations of a software technology to address plurality of goals and priorities. By 'forking' a new branch of development separate from the main project, development diverges into a path in order to relieve...

This paper reports the results of an exploratory study on the Internet Engineering Task Force IETF specifications corpus in relation to the changes in volume, structure, and production of Internet standards. Using data spanning three decades, the authors examine changes in the production volume and type composition of IETF documents, their interdep...

In this paper we develop a conceptual framework for understanding the co-evolution of a virtual community and a hybrid governance regime. The research site is the Eclipse software development community led by IBM and based on data collected from activities of community members, we examine the attempts of participants to construct and refine a hybri...

In this paper we present the �ndings of an exploratory study about the e�ects of communication variety on performance in collaborative software development communities. Performance was de�ned separately for the two generic activities that cover most of participants in a software development community: `knowledge creation` and `knowledge brokerage`....

Market demands are driving computer software and hardware products towards increased variety and modularity. This study first reviews major developments in production regimes in the computer business and highlights common patterns in strategic management choices in attempt for accommodating market demands. Then the inter-organizational structures an...

Standardization efforts have become an increasingly central issue as business interoperability demands mount. However research on the development process of standards is limited. This study investigates the organizational features of Internet standards developed and published under coordination of the Internet Engineering Task Force. In addition to...

Despite the growing body of research on the inner workings of FOSS development, there are few studies on its relation with broader developments in society. In this study we have attempted a preliminary investigation of (1) how FOSS prevalence is related to economic and human development indicators of countries, (2) whether public policies regarding...

Social relations have been a research interest in many areas of social sciences. In sociology, for example, individuals up in the power hierarchy in a group can be determined quantitatively by looking at the number of direct relations to others in the group[1]. Similarly, in management and economics, alliance relationships between firms are examine...

In this study we look at a body of standards documents in RFCs(Request For Comments) of IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). The cross references between these documents form a network. Approaches from social network analysis are deployed to assess centrality of artifacts in this network and identify cohesive subgroups and levels of cohesion. Ou...

A topic recently discussed in the literature about software markets concerns government policies supporting open-source software, the purpose of such an intervention being the prevention of failures in that market and ultimately increase social welfare. Possible inter-ventions include mandated adoption and information campaigns. Our study investiga...

We present a recommender system which uses a graph based representation to relate items in a system with heteroge-neous attributes. In assessing strength of relations between items we combine rarity of common properties with collab-orative data on item popularity, with optional inclusion of a random term to introduce diversity in recommendations. F...

Innovation capacity of open source software communities has received increasing interest from management researchers. In this study we have looked into cognitive processes in these communities by analysing peer communication in expert and novice groups of two open source project communities. Our results underline certain cognitive and behavioral pa...
