Complexity of social network anonymization
Social Network Analysis and Mining, 2012With an abundance of social network data being released, the need to protect sensitive information within these networks has become an important concern of data publishers. To achieve this objective, various notions of k-anonymization have been proposed for social network graphs.

Social Tinkering: The Social Foundations of Cultural Complexity
Behavioral and Brain SciencesAbstract How has human culture become so complex? We argue that a key process is social tinkering : the gradual accumulation of ad hoc innovations to the social rules that coordinate behavior in response to immediate challenges.

Behavioral and Brain Sciences
Abstract I first summarise the argument in the target article so as to make the main points clear. I then address a number of major misunderstandings (mainly in relation to the social brain hypothesis), consider some specific issues that require clarification, and finally identify points that would merit more detailed consideration. I

This chapter focuses on the causes and consequences of enhanced complexity of design activities by the social context. The eight design projects, which were used as stimulating material, were analysed towards the variables which contributed to the social context. All interviewees discussed collaboration between different stakeholders as one of the main

Social Isomers in Encapsulation Complexes
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2002We introduce here a new form of isomerism-social isomerism-that arises when two different guests are confined to a cylindrical host capsule. The isomerism deals with the orientationof one guest with respect to the other when they are in a container. Specifically, para-substituted toluenes coencapsulated with typical solvent molecules such as benzene ...

Social Synchrony on Complex Networks
IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, 2018Social synchrony (SS) is an emergent phenomenon in human society. People often mimic others which, over time, can result in large groups behaving similarly. Drawing from prior empirical studies of SS in online communities, here we propose a discrete network model of SS based on four attributes: 1) depth of action; 2) breadth of impact, i.e., a large ...

Designing for software's social complexity
Computer, 2007As the "software crisis" persists, we must rethink our strategy for handling complexity. A decade ago, complexity was physiological. It is now intrinsically social.

Social complexity and the emergent state
Politics, Philosophy & EconomicsMany political philosophers assume the state can coherently reform a society's legal system to realize just, society-wide distributive outcomes. Gerald Gaus invoked social complexity to highlight the limitations of this ambition. Complexity theory holds that interdependent social interaction in large-scale societies leads to unpredictable ...
