It is becoming increasingly common for networks of actors (universities, research institutes, enterprises and government organisations, etc.) to be formed in order to jointly develop innovations. The efficacy of these networks is, however, disputed when it comes to generating growth-related results. Several studies suggest that the structure of the network is an important factor enabling innovations to be created. However, these studies lack intermediate variables such as commitment. This explorative study therefore looks at the relationship between network structure and network commitment. Th...

From the functional architecture of optical network elements, parameters for fault and perfbrmance are proposed for network element-level management and some parameters are considered to assess the performance of end-to-end channel trails.

Theories of democratic governance have undergone significant changes over the last two decades with the spread of ideas and popular practices associated with New Public Management (NPM) and New Governance. In particular, inter-ministerial and inter-societal networking is becoming important because of the capacity to regulate complex transactional interdependency in modern administrative states. This paper examined various forms of networks and identified factors that influence the form of governance including asset-specificity, task complexity, transaction continuity, uncertainty, the degree o...

The debate on new governance was triggered largely by the growing recognition that policy making process needs to go beyond the public sector to incorporate private sector and nongovernmental actors to achieve a set of objectives (Brinkerhoff, 1996; Forrest, 2003). This, in turn, was necessitated by the poor track records of public institutions and traditional “governance” which emphasized public policy process as centrally steered and managed through direct control, which Osborne and Gaebler (1992) describe as “bloated, wasteful, and ineffective” and by increasing complexity of public problem...

SUMMARY The authors surveyed new and veteran science and engineering librarians to determine the roles membership and participation in professional organizations play in mentoring and/or retention to the field. The authors compare activity and membership levels in several subject-oriented organizations and discuss the perceived benefits members receive from these professional activities as well as the challenges these memberships present. The networking that occurs as part of participation in subject-oriented library associations provides mentoring that may not be available to science libraria...

This article contrasts hostility toward visual and literary art in English radical Puritanism before the late seventeenth century with the central role of art for Dutch Mennonites, many involved in the commercial prosperity of Amsterdam. Both 1620s Mennonites and 1650s–1660s Quakers debated the relationship between literal truth of the Bible and claims for the power of a personally felt Holy Spirit. This was the intra-Mennonite “Two-Word Dispute,” and for Quakers an opportunity to attack Puritans who argued that the Bible was literally the Word of God, not the “light within.” Mennonites like...

Wagner and collaborators have now begun to consider a mutational graph where the nodes are, themselves, regulatory networks, called a metagraph, or graph of graphs, which holds much promise to illuminate such analyses of sequence evolution.

A recent review on networks by Elizabeth Quill (ScienceNews, 182(6), 22 September 2012, p. 18) provides some cautionary but also promising views about developments in the theory of networks and especially networks of networks. Potential scenarios range from total catastrophe to the provision of a better understanding of how networks of networks function - for example, how the circulatory system, the respiratory system and the musculoskeletal system might interact with one another in combatting disease. For my own part, the recent announcements on the positive medical outcomes from the 'placebo...

Networks & Collaborations  ‘Ours is a brand-new world of all-at-onceness. ‘Time’ has ceased, ‘space’ has vanished. We now live in a global village… a simultaneous happening.’  Marshall McLuhan  Collaboration  This is the era of collaboration, with Turner Prize winning collective Assemble, the blurring of practice and group activity is evident all around us. From online communities sharing their illustrations to collectives of artisans using ‘making’ as an antidote to the all-pervasive ‘world wide web’, we are connected like never before. In one sense we are always collaborating through the ...

Is there a place for systematic networking in the field of international social welfare? First, what is meant by the term ’networking’? Many readers will share with me a frustration with the use of such jargonistic terms, which at one and the same time connote physical images (such as fishing nets or spider’s webs), social images (such as friends, colleagues or business associates), abstract images (such as a set of interconnected ideas) and, finally, active images (such as a deliberate use of interconnections for purposes that are often not explicitly stated). There is often the implication t...

This article analyzes the role that Fernando Ortiz played in the articulation of transatlantic intellectual and academic networks between different Latin American countries, and between these and Spain. The intellectual community formed in the first three decades of the twentieth century, as also did the circuits through which knowledge was transmitted; these circuits are studied here through Ortiz’s correspondence with other thinkers. Studying this correspondence between intellectuals often also reveals the origin of certain theories and their diffusion, which was, through the correspondence,...

Society is organized in networks. The network perspective is something that should be regarded as inherent to social life, especially when looking at the fact that it is not feasible (or even possible) for a given actor - whether a person or an organization - to live completely independently and isolated from others. These arrangements or network structures are usually addressed in management literature under an organizational perspective and, accordingly, may be formed in contexts ranging from competition, collaboration and a mixed type of relationship. In the latter, players who normally com...

A Nationwide Network of Networks (NNoN) is envisioned to be a nationally recognized organizing body that seamlessly facilitates weather and climate data exchange from a diverse community of data providers to the national and international data users. This body is planned to formalize existing standards and/or develop new standards (e.g., for metadata and policy), and ensure adherence to those standards by the member network operators. NNoN is also expected to provide guidance, expertise, and potential funding avenues to the member networks so the networks may be economically viable and be able...

From the Publisher: This book describes the transformation of telecommunications from national network monopolies to a new system, the network of networks, and the glue that holds it together, interconnection. By their very nature, monopoly-owned networks provided a small number of standardized, nationwide services. Over the past two decades, however, new forces in the world economy began to unravel this traditional system. The driving force behind the change was the shift toward an information-based economy. Especially for large organizations, the price, control, security, and reliability of...
