The intellectual endeavours of OR and systems scholars: The dynamic evolution of intellectual interactions

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
Abstract In conducting their research, academics engage in intellectual work. To illustrate the dynamic evolution of scholars collaborating over time, the development and use of critical systems heuristics (CSH) is taken as an example; historically, CSH consists of an intergenerational chain involving Churchman, Ulrich and Midgley, each a highly ...

Erving Goffman at 100: A Chameleon Seen as a Rorschach Test within a Kaleidoscope

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
The 100th anniversary of Erving Goffman's birth was in 2022. Drawing on his work, the Goffman archives, the secondary literature, and personal experiences with him and those in his university of Chicago cohort, I reflect on some implications of his work and life, and the inseparable issues of understanding society.

Art as a Channel and Embodiment of Symbolic Interaction Between Migrants and Non‐Migrants

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Many non‐migrant politicians, journalists, and scholars in migrant‐ destination societies often represent migrants with self‐interested objectives and in specific instrumental ways based on stereotypes. Yet research on symbolic interaction reveals migrants are not passive victims.

Structure and Overlaps of Communities in Networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
One of the main organizing principles in real-world social, information and technological networks is that of network communities, where sets of nodes organize into densely linked clusters. Even though detection of such communities is of great interest, understanding the structure communities in large networks remains relatively limited.

Community Detection Algorithm Evaluation using Size and Hashtags [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Understanding community structure in social media is critical due to its broad applications such as friend recommendations, link predictions and collaborative filtering. However, there is no widely accepted definition of community in literature. Existing work use structure related metrics such as modularity and function related metrics such as ground ...

Tracing Community Genealogy: How New Communities Emerge from the Old [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
The process by which new communities emerge is a central research issue in the social sciences. While a growing body of research analyzes the formation of a single community by examining social networks between individuals, we introduce a novel community-centered perspective.

An upper bound on community size in scalable community detection [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
It is well-known that community detection methods based on modularity optimization often fails to discover small communities. Several objective functions used for community detection therefore involve a resolution parameter that allows the detection of communities at different scales.
