Towards Social Capital in a Network Organization: A Conceptual Model and an Empirical Approach.

Due to the complexity of an open multi-agent system, agents' interactions are instantiated spontaneously, resulting in beneficent collaborations with one another for mutual actions that are beyond one's current capabilities. Repeated patterns of interactions shape a feature of their organizational structure when those agents self-organize themselves for a long-term objective. This paper, therefore, aims to provide an understanding of social capital in organizations that are open membership multi-agent systems with an emphasis in our formulation on the dynamic network of social interactions that, in part, elucidate evolving structures and impromptu topologies of networks.

Influencing agent group behavior by adjusting cultural trait values.

Social reasoning and norms among individuals that share cultural traits are largely fashioned by those traits. We have explored predominant sociological and cultural traits. We offer a methodology for parametrically adjusting relevant traits.
