▼ An abstract of a dissertation that examines the motivational foundations of
social networks. Five studies using diverse methods examine
goal pursuit as an antecedent to
social network structure, finding that self-oriented and affiliation-oriented
goal pursuit evoke unique patterns of interpersonal perception and motivation which lead to the development of sparser and denser
social networks, respectively. Study 1 serves as an empirical summary of our theorizing: individuals primed with dense
networks feel more efficacious pursuing affiliation-oriented goals versus self-oriented goals, and individuals primed with sparse
networks feel more efficacious pursuing self-oriented goals than individuals primed with dense
networks. Study 2finds a correlation between personal goals and network structure. Studies 3 and 4 experimentally demonstrate that reminders of self versus affiliation-oriented goals lead to different cognitively-activated network structures. Study 5 finds that individuals entering a new
social network with strong career goals (self-oriented goals) develop significantly sparser local
networks and attain more central network positions; the opposite pattern emerges for individuals pursuing strong
social goals (affiliation-oriented goals). Individuals strongly motivated to pursue both goals lose the network structure benefits of having a strong career
goal. Findings support the hypothesis linking personal
goal pursuit to network structure, a novel approach to integrating psychology and
networks research.

▼ Users privacy in the setting of an open internet environment, combined with a social networking environment has increased privacy related vulnerabilities. Privacy vulnerability represents the flaws in an environment or the lack of security from service providers to prevent privacy problems beforehand. Failure to protect user privacy could increase the chances that users data would be transferred without consent, duplicated, shared or used in an inappropriate context. Social networking services (SNS) mostly rely on user data to operate properly, user data can be provided by user, can be collected from alternate sources, or could be requested by SNS themselves. Data shared by the user may contain personal information, and inappropriate use of that personally identified information (PII) is the main concern in this study.
This study aims at analyzing privacy vulnerabilities in a social media context. The study explores vulnerabilities and privacy policies, and falls in the category of qualitative research. A method to analyze risk imposed by each vulnerability is also discussed at the end of this study. These heuristics are outcome of analysis of various privacy related concepts and privacy taxonomy proposed by Anton (2004). Individual interviews were also carried out to validate findings of this research where developers were asked questions related to privacy vulnerabilities extracted from Facebook privacy policies and other available documents.
The outcome of this research highlights the use of goal based requirement analysis method to evaluate requirements and to determine amount of vulnerabilities related to Facebook and also how the vulnerabilities can be narrowed down. Considering the original study by Anton (2004) was designed for e-commerce websites, some elements had to be modified to suit social networking services where data sharing and data transfer are the core features of the service.

▼ While effective treatment for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) exists, only about 28% of individuals suffering from AUDs seek help for problems (Cohen, Feinn, Arias, & Kranzler, 2007). The National Institute of Health strategic initiative of systems-thinking approaches to health (USDHHS, 2010b) suggests that
social network ties may reveal important keys to how persons experiencing health problems, including AUDs, seek treatment. Additionally, approximately 60% of individuals in treatment for AUDs will relapse within the first year following alcohol treatment (Maisto, Pollock, Cornelius, Lynch, & Martin, 2003; Whitford, Widner, Mellick, & Elkins, 2009). One mechanism of change that could reduce relapse of alcohol use may be the goals individuals adopt upon entry to treatment. The objectives of this dissertation are 1) identify the characteristics of
social network ties among persons with experiencing AUDs, 2) examine how
social network ties influence treatment use for alcohol dependence, and 3) to examine whether goals individuals adopt concerning drinking in early treatment influence subsequent alcohol use following treatment completion. Objectives 1 and 2 examine wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions. Objective 3, examines the Life-Transitions Study (LTS) (Robinson et al., 2011). Results suggest that
social networks of individuals with AUDs are smaller in size and less diverse. Additionally,
social network ties of individuals with AUD play a moderating role in seeking treatment such that individuals with high level of alcohol consumption and more
social ties are more likely to seek treatment than individuals with high levels of alcohol consumption and few network ties. Finally, controlling for differences in who adopts a
goal of abstinence from alcohol, individuals who adopt a
goal of abstinence at treatment entry are likely to have more percent days abstinence and more days since last consuming alcohol compared to individuals who adopt a non-abstinence
goal. These findings offer several implications for
social work practice including the utilization of
social networks as a resource among individuals with AUDs, the identification of high risk AUD groups least likely to seek treatment, and risk factors associated with higher levels of alcohol use following treatment for AUDs.

▼ In this dissertation I seek to answer the research question of who are those people that have the ability and motivation to facilitate other people’s creative thinking. Actors who are in the creator’s
social environment, such as her coworkers and family members, can potentially enhance the creator’s level of creativity. Although these contacts can be active collaborators of the creator’s thinking processes and can eventually have a significant impact on organizational creativity, so far their role in organizational life has been overlooked by researchers. Consequently, in my dissertation I develop a theory of “creativity catalysts”, and define a creativity catalyst as an employee who helps to improve the usefulness and novelty (i.e. creativity) of the ideas and products produced by another employee (i.e. the creator) through direct interpersonal interaction with the creator. I examine two aspects of serving as a catalyst to another’s creativity: the intensity of a creativity catalyst’s contribution and the span of a creativity catalyst’s contribution. Intensity of contribution is conceptualized as the extent to which the creativity catalyst can improve the output generated by the creators to be more novel and useful. Span on the other hand, is the number of people that perceive an individual as a catalyst for her own creative performance.
To answer the research question, I develop and empirically test a theory of creativity catalysts by integrating a
social capital theory lens (i.e. structural
social capital and relational
social capital) with a stable motivational orientation (i.e., learning
goal orientation). First, I argue that a catalyst’s relational
social capital (i.e., quality of relationships with her coworkers) in the organizational communication network determines her motivation to take the role of a creativity catalyst. Second, I argue that the catalyst’s structural
social capital (i.e., the extent to which she can connect with the disconnected others in her network structure) underlines her ability to contribute to others’ creativity. Integrating these two arguments, I hypothesize that the catalyst’s relational
social capital (i.e., the motivation to become a creativity catalyst) interacts with her structural
social capital (i.e., the ability of a creativity catalyst) in predicting both the intensity and span of the catalyst’s contribution to her coworkers’ creativity. Second, I hypothesized that learning
goal orientation, a stable motivational orientation, interacts with the situational motivational characteristic of relational
social capital in predicting both the span and intensity of a catalyst’s contribution to her coworkers’ creativity. To test my hypotheses, I first ran a pilot study on a sample of full-time MBA students in order to validate the creativity catalyst measure; and then tested my hypothesized model on employees from two companies, using multiple data sources over multiple phases of data collection. Consequently, I found support for both of these interaction hypotheses on the intensity…

▼ markdownabstract__Abstract__
Business model innovation (BMI) is an emergent area of research with the potential to re-structure the pillars of strategy research. Despite the growing interest, the process of how business models change is not clearly described. In fact, only a few empirical studies explain the antecedents of BMI and we do not have a clear understanding of how companies combine external knowledge with internal capabilities for innovating. Moreover, scholars have not been able to describe the steps that managers undertake to innovate their business models. This Dissertation is aimed at addressing these gaps.
I find that networks in which companies are embedded function as learning environment for stimulating BMI. At the same time, I highlight specific network dynamics, characterizing BMI as a different phenomenon in respect to other innovation processes. Moreover, I address the analysis of the BMI process, showing the relevance of managers’ attention. Finally, I also show the importance of managers’ goal orientation, looking at how they are influenced by environmental and organizational contingencies. These findings derive from qualitative and quantitative studies conducted in the field of creative industries.
This Dissertation has the potential to contribute to research along three dimensions: (1) shedding light on the process of BMI, (2) exploring the relevance of managers’ attention for business model innovation, (3) exploring the effectiveness of different BMI strategies.

▼ The programming of matter (molecular programming) is often realized through DNA strand displacement (DSD). Computations and algorithms using DNA strand displacement are often modeled using chemical reaction networks (CRN) that abstract away DNA specific reactions and terminology. These CRNs can yield complex behavior similar to computer programs. If these molecular programs are further used in vivo to effect cell change or fight disease, the molecular program becomes a safety critical system.
In this paper we propose and analyze a molecular watchdog timer, based on a software component often used to monitor the health of a critical system. Using goal-oriented requirements engineering and a stochastic CRN model (SCRN) we design a watchdog timer using two components, a delay clock and a threshold detector. The models are directed, informed, and verified by use of a probabilistic model checker.
Analyzing requirements and the design uncovered several defects that were addressed in subsequent iterations. During each phase, the system was modeled using formal verification tools and simulations to verify correctness of the model. It was found that this iterative methodology with verification was potent at illuminating requirement and design flaws. In addition, the final verified model helped determine specific parameters and molecules for initial biological experiments.

▼ The goal of this dissertation is to explain patterns in the distribution of medicinal plant knowledge among the Tzeltal; in particular, why some plants are more likely to be known for their medicinal use than other plants. Methods included
botanical collection, structured ethnobotanical surveys, landscape vegetation surveys, discourse analysis and participant observation. The explanatory approach was synthetic, drawing on notions from cultural anthropology, ethnopharmacology, ecology,
cognitive science, linguistics, and studies of cultural transmission. Explanatory notions were tested by comparing Tzeltal Maya who have lived in the temperate Chiapas Highlands for many generations with other Tzeltal who have migrated from the Highlands
to the lowland tropical rainforest within the last 30 years. Both study populations show patterns in which a few plants are known by every-one, but distribution of knowledge decreases as the diversity of plants increases, and most knowledge is
idiosyncratic. The effects of typicality in categorization and discourse account for the few widely known plants. Humoral (hot/cold) classification is highly variable, does not facilitate recall of medicinal uses of plants, and has no significant effect
on the distribution of knowledge. Cultural interpretations of plant taste and mor-phology are very important in individual cognitive models, but lose importance at the scale of shared discursive models where social and pragmatic themes also influence the
dissemination of knowledge. While humoral classification and cultural interpretations of taste and morphology may be important for expert curers, they do not significantly affect the dissemination of knowledge among novices. Species that are more
accessible tend to be used more often, and frequency of use is weakly correlated with knowledge distribu-tion. Emic perception of efficacy is the variable that most accounts for the distribution of knowledge. But social organization, individual
cognition, and random processes in cul-tural transmission shape and bias the flow of information, and knowledge about many species that fit emic conceptions of efficacy is not distributed throughout the populations.

▼ Although there have been numerous studies published on
athletes and topics related to alcohol consumption, motivation,
personal
goal orientation, competition anxiety, and performance,
very few studies have examined the
social networks of college
athletes or the role that these relationships have in the lives of
these athletes. The present study examined relationships between
self-reports of
social networks, personal
goal orientation,
personal growth related to being an athlete, mood state, and
alcohol usage in a sample of 169 college student-athletes, aged
18-26, who competed at the NCAA Division I athletic level. Results
indicated that gender, ethnicity and sport group (team sport or
individual sport) were related to differences in network
composition. Findings suggested that perceptions of personal
growth, mood state, and alcohol usage and related behaviors were
related to network variables that include total network size, time
spent with friends face-to-face, total helping network size, help
given network size, and help reciprocity network size. Task
orientation scores were positively related to reciprocal support
relationships, time spent with family on the telephone, and
personal growth. Total help reciprocity network size accounted for
the variability in self reports of personal growth over and above
gender. Implications for working with college student-athletes and
future research directions are discussed.

▼ The notion of conviviality has an intuitive meaning for human society, which is to feel welcome in a community and at ease with its members. We believe it also has particular significance for the design of artificial
social systems. Traditionally conviviality has been shown to be useful in human interactions, thus the abundance of artificial
social systems is likely to benefit from its application. In this thesis, we explore the possibility of developing the concept of conviviality in artificial
social systems in depth. We provide a number of tools to help designers of artificial
social systems to include conviviality at the onset of their design. First, we identify what we believe to constitute a promising field of research. Second, we abstract the notion of conviviality. Starting from the philosophical notion proposed by Illich, “individual freedom realized in personal interdependence”. Using Taylor’s intuition about a conviviality mask, we advance a formalization in terms of interdependence of agents and their goals, and the
social norms that determine that interdependence. Third, we operationalize conviviality for the development of artificial
social systems. We establish correspondence between software engineering and
social science domains. We formalize the interdependence between members of a group with dependence
networks, and use the stakeholder-agent concept to pro- vide individual agents’ points of view. Fourth, we propose a way to elicit conviviality requirements during the early phase of the development of artificial
social systems, using the Tropos agent methodology. Finally, we provide a glimpse of the type of conviviality properties that can be measured in artificial
social systems, and thus define the convivial quality of the system. Throughout this thesis we illustrate our arguments with two running examples, one from Second Life, the other from the city of Luxembourg.

▼ This dissertation addresses the theoretical foundations of service composition and develops network based techniques, mathematical programming, and stochastic models for service composition.
For the first time, a mathematical theory, which forms the foundation to define service science as a rigorous discipline is explored. The theorems of solution existence and convergence are generated. Mutuality/Duality theory of service space and concept space is established.
The Concept Service (CS) network matrix is developed to study the network structure of service composition. The potential of CS network provides insights to identify important services and concepts. This information is used to connect the initial query with sub-components in CS network, thus reducing the computational time for the planning algorithms. A set of heuristic service composition algorithms is developed based on CS network matrix.
Based on the mathematical theory established, three types of multi-criteria programming models are designed to find optimal service composition solutions for the offline-planning problem. The three types of mathematical programming models are: Multi Criteria Programming(MCP), Multi Criteria
Goal Programming for Optimal composition(MCGPO) and Multi Criteria
Goal Programming for Non-optimal composition(MCGPN). MCP model can generate an optimal solution if solutions satisfying all the customer’s functional and nonfunctional requirements exist. In addition, the MCGPO model allows to automatically select a trade-off among the objectives according to the customers’ preferences. MCGPN model is fast for generating satisficing solutions.
Stochastic models are developed to compose service queries under uncertainty. In these models, nested compound work flow and service workload are considered. The algorithms directly utilize prior information of the potential of Concept Service (CS) network matrix to generate a transition matrix. This offers a fast and convenient approach for real time service composition to capture the uncertainty and dynamic phenomena.
Finally, possible applications of service composition in product design, global manufacturing, supply chain and resource allocation are discussed.

▼ The fronto-parietal control network (FPCN) and dorsal attention network (DAN) are critical for
goal-directed cognition (GDC), which is known to decline with advancing age. Here, we investigated whether a strategy-based executive control training intervention (GOALS) would alter recruitment of the FPCN and DAN in healthy older adults. We also investigated whether functional brain changes would be associated with improvements in GDC and structural integrity of frontal-posterior white matter tracts. Thirteen participants were randomly assigned to the five-week long GOALS training and 12 were randomly assigned to a time and intensity matched control intervention group. Both groups were tested before and after intervention on a
goal-directed cognitive task while undergoing fMRI scanning. We observed post-training increases in activation within the FPCN during a selective working memory task requiring GDC in the GOALS training group as compared to the control group, p < .001. These increases were positively correlated with the integrity of white matter pathways connecting frontal and posterior brain regions in the GOALS group, p < .001. In conclusion, this study is the first to our knowledge to report changes in functional neural
networks known to subserve GDC in older adults after training and relate these changes to the integrity of underlying white matter tracts.

▼ A fundamental goal of neuroscience is to understand how the brain encodes and processes information and how the networks and structures involved are formed. In this thesis, we use theoretical approaches to further our understanding of brain function. First, we investigate how experimentally-based learning rules lead to the formation of different network structures, through unsupervised learning. Second, we investigate how different experimentally-based neural models and network structures enable different types of information processing, such as goal-directed, top-down processing. Third, we consider how reinforcement learning arising from synaptic plasticity mechanisms can coexist with unsupervised learning during the operant conditioning of neural firing rates.
The unsupervised learning rule spiking-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) has been shown to selectively potentiate feed-forward connections with specific axonal delays, enabling functions such as sound localization in the auditory brainstem of the barn owl. We demonstrate a similar selective potentiation for the recurrent connections in a network with axonal delays corresponding to the period of incoming oscillatory activity with frequencies in the range of 100-300Hz. For lower frequency oscillations, such as gamma (60Hz), we show that multiple, recurrently connected groups of neurons could encode not only the oscillation frequency but also a time lag between different sets of oscillations. These results have the potential to help explain missing fundamental pitch perception in the auditory brainstem and the formation of neuronal ensembles (or cell assemblies) in the cortex, respectively.
Neural systems are able to perform top-down processing of stimulus information and flexibly select behaviors appropriate to the environment and present goals. Based upon previous experimental and theoretical studies, we propose that information in higher-level areas of the cortex, such as the prefrontal cortex, is encoded in the amplitude and phase of neural oscillations, such as gamma oscillations, and that this activity is gated by two mechanisms: top-down feedback and coherence between these oscillations. By forming these units into circuits that can perform logic operations, we identify the different ways in which operations can be initiated and manipulated by top-down feedback. We demonstrate that more sophisticated and flexible top-down control is possible when the gain of units is modulated by two mechanisms. We explore how different network properties affect top-down control and make predictions about the likely connectivities between certain brain regions.
Typical and well-studied examples of behavioral learning are those in which the firing rates of individual cortical neurons in monkeys are increased using rewards. These results have been reproduced using reinforcement learning rules, such as a variant of STDP called reward-modulated spike-timing-dependent plasticity (RSTDP). However, these previous models have assumed that no unsupervised learning is…

▼ Despite the central focus on goals in the
self-regulation literature, and the interest in the motivational
and performance enhancing effects of goals in the I/O literature,
few studies have explicitly examined how individuals prioritize and
allocate their resources among multiple goals that are being
pursued concurrently. The limited research in this area has
typically adopted a Control Theory perspective, and has identified
relative
goal-performance discrepancies as an important driver of
resource allocation amongst simultaneously pursued goals. The
purpose of the current study was to extend this line of research by
adopting a complementary framework,
Goal Systems Theory, to
identify additional variables and processes that may influence how
individuals allocate their resources across multiple tasks in the
name of
goal achievement.
Goal Systems Theory adopts a
cognition-as-motivation approach, whereby goals, and the means that
serve those goals, are viewed as networked knowledge structures
subject to the same operational and organization constraints as
other knowledge structures (i.e. semantic
networks). Three
characteristics of
goal networks, as specified by
Goal Network
Theory, were examined. These characteristics included both
structural and functional elements of
goal networks that have been
shown in past research to have the potential to influence resource
allocation. These three characteristics included: 1) means
multifinality set size, or the number of goals that a particular
means serves, which was hypothesized to be positively related
resource allocation; 2) the strength of the cognitive association
between a means and a
goal was hypothesized to mediate a positive
relationship between means-
goal instrumentality and means resource
allocation, and; 3) the principle of
goal property transfer,
whereby a means comes to inherit the properties of the goals that
it serves, was identified as important in determining the
allocation of resources to means. Specifically, it was hypothesized
that the resource allocation effects of a goal’s
goal-performance
discrepancy would transfer to its associated means, influencing the
allocation of resources to those means. In total, 103 undergraduate
college students completed this study, 84 of which met the
inclusion criteria for the testing of the hypotheses. Participants
volunteered to participate in a study examining “college student’s
goals” that was conducted in two phases. The first phase took place
in a laboratory, during which time IV and control variables were
collected. The second phase involved keeping a daily journal of all
activities engaged in for the two weeks following phase 1, during
which the DV, resource allocation was measured. Results partially
supported the hypothesis that means multifinality set size was
positively related to resource allocation, while the hypotheses
regarding association strength and the transfer of
goal-performance
discrepancies were generally not supported. A number of additional
exploratory analyses were also conducted however, that more…

▼ In this dissertation, we investigate the optimal design of efficient and sustainable supply chains, which has been recognized as one of the most critical long-term strategic objective in today's business.For the efficient Supply Chain Network Design (SCND), we propose a comprehensive model that captures significant strategic decisions involved in designing or re-designing high performance supply chains from the perspective of the manufacturer. The problem setting considers deterministic demand estimates by multiple customers, for multiple products, over the periods of a long term horizon. The strategic decisions involve selection of raw material suppliers, establishment or resizing of production facilities and/or selection of production subcontractors, establishment/resizing of distribution centers and/or subcontracting of the related activities, and selection of transportation modes and routes. The problem is formulated by a MILP model. Its objective is to minimize the overall costs associated with procurement, production, inventory, warehousing, and transportation over the design horizon. Appropriate constraints model the complex relationships among the links of the supply chain. In order to test the value of the proposed model in tackling the very significant complexities of current business reality, we apply the proposed model to a large case study of a global manufacturing firm. This validation unveils all application challenges (e.g. determining appropriate model parameters that reliably reflect the firm’s environment), and provides valuable insights into the efficient transformation of the firm’s current supply chain network. The network design obtained from solving the model is analyzed under variations of key parameters to determine its robustness.For the Sustainability in Supply Chain Network Design (SSCND), we propose a new Multi-objective MMILP model, which captures significant decisions involved in designing or re-designing high performance, sustainable supply chains. The cost objective includes investment, operational, as well as emissions costs. The environmental objective captures emission quantities and waste generation at each link of the supply chain. The social objective considers employment opportunities, prioritizing societal community development and improved labor conditions. To solve the proposed model we employ both goal programming and the ε-constraint method to achieve efficient trade-offs among the three objectives. We have successfully applied the proposed model to a large case study of a global manufacturer. The goal programming method results in both economic and environmental cost improvements, while maintaining social costs under control. The ε-constraint method provides the opportunity to regulate the expenditures related to environmental and social strategies. Despite its high complexity, the case study results validate the ability of the proposed model and method to re-design high performing sustainable supply chains.

▼ The fight against terrorism and organized crime require strong collaboration between public security organizations. Public security
networks include several agencies that are not bound to each other with strong hierarchical ties. Because of a lack of the strong hierarchical structure, managing public
networks is not similar to managing a single government agency. This study aims to examine the factors influencing network effectiveness in the public security sector. The main research questions of the study are: Which factors are important for effectiveness in public security
networks? What is the role of inter-organizational trust among partner agencies? Which kind of leadership style will achieve the highest performance in public security
networks? What is the relative importance of
goal convergence and organizational culture in network effectiveness? How does the relationship between inter-organizational trust, leadership style,
goal convergence and organizational culture impact network effectiveness? In order to find these relations, a self-reported survey was sent to 2,095 current and previous Turkish public security network managers. The study found that inter-organizational trust and
goal convergence have a positive relationship with network effectiveness. Although facilitator leadership is found to be the most common leadership style in Turkish public security
networks, it is found as inappropriate to achieve higher network effectiveness. According to the results, the co-producer network leadership is the most convenient leadership style in terms of network effectiveness. While the results of the descriptive statistics confirm that six specific features of organizational culture in public security sector have negative influence on network effectiveness, the hypothesis testing with the covariance structure model only support the negative impact of competition among partner organization. This study contributes to the literature on network effectiveness with particular proposals for the public security managers and practitioners.

A policy is a statement of how a system should behave for a given set of detectable events and conditions. Combined, goals may be realised through the selection and execution of policies that contribute to their aims. In this manner, a system may be managed using a goal-directed, policy-based approach.
The approach is a collection of related techniques and tools: a policy language and policy system, goal definition and refinement via policy selection, and conflict filtering among policies. Central to these themes, ontologies are used to model application domains, and incorporate domain knowledge within the system. The ACCENT policy system (Advanced Component Control Enhancing Network Technologies, http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/accent) is used as a base for the approach, while goals and policies are defined using an extension of APPEL (Adaptable and Programmable Policy Environment and Language, http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/appel).
The approach differs from existing work in that it reduces system state, goals and policies to a numerical rather than logical form. This is more user-friendly as the goal domain may be expressed without any knowledge of formal methods. All developed techniques and tools are entirely domain-independent, allowing for reuse with other event-driven systems. The ability to express a system aim as a goal provides more powerful and proactive high-level management than was previously possible using policies alone. The approach is demonstrated and evaluated within this thesis for the domains of Internet telephony and sensor network/wind turbine management.
