Astrobiology is a new and highly interdisciplinary field encompassing research from a diversity of disciplines including astrophysics, biology, chemistry, and geology. The AIRFrame project has been funded by NASA as part of an attempt to connect astrobiology research and researchers across disciplinary and institutional boundaries. One of the major tasks in building the AIRFrame system is to identify the major topics of research in astrobiology across disciplines and how existing work fits into these topics. While there are two astrobiology-specific scholarly journals, most researchers choose to publish in journals of their own discipline. In this work, an unsupervised learning method was applied to a corpus of astrobiology-related journal articles originating from a variety of disciplines with a goal of discovering common themes and topics. Unsupervised learning, or clustering, discovers groupings within a dataset without the aid of labeled data samples. The Information Bottleneck method [43] was employed for this project because it has been shown to be one of the most accurate and robust methods of clustering unlabeled multi-dimensional data such as text [40, 4]. Within this same framework, it also is possible to determine the maximum number of meaningful clusters that can be resolved in a finite dataset [41]. This work was the first application of this method to document clustering. Additionally, a new related algorithm was developed for preprocessing data. This new method was evaluated on its ability to indicate which words from the document data are best for use in clustering. These methods were combined to produce a dataset grouped by common topics present in 479 abstracts and full-text articles listed as publications in the NASA Astrobiology Institute 2009 Annual Report. The resulting clusters revealed several themes present in the data and groups of documents that are strongly connected on many levels through different numbers of clusters.

▼ This dissertation is a collection of three essays addressing interface issues of operations and finance in supply chains. In the first essay, we study pricing of financial hedging contracts used by firms to better respond to uncertainty in product markets. We consider a single-period problem in which a firm has only one opportunity for resource acquisition before demand uncertainty is resolved, and he makes the product pricing decision based on the realized demand function. To offset the risk of his real investment, the firm buys a tailor-made hedging contract from an issuer with an underlying payoff partially correlated with the uncertainty in the product market. We show the contract effect by formulating the negotiation process between both parties in the framework of a Stackelberg game and price equilibrium. For each game-theoretic setting, we derive the equilibrium solution and present the comparative statics. We also investigate the case in which the issuer lays off her risk from one contract by writing another contract with a second firm, and compare contract performance with a benchmark case in which two firms trade directly rather than through the issuer. In the second essay, we study a supply chain in which a retailer faces a classic newsvendor problem with a financial constraint on his capacity to order inventory. To sell more products, the manufacturer teams up with a bank to offer an interest-free loan program. We formulate the interaction between the retailer and the manufacturer as a Stackelberg game in which the manufacturer has the dominant pricing power. Our results indicate that the loan program can significantly improve each party's profit. The retailer becomes more aggressive in ordering when equilibrium order quantity is low but demand risk is high. We also investigate open account financing in which the manufacturer allows a partial and delayed payment, equivalent to a loan to the retailer. Compared with open account financing, bank financing improves the entire supply chain profit. Numerical experiments demonstrate the supply chain performance under bank financing and indicate that demand volatility may actually improve contract efficiency. We propose two contract forms that coordinate the supply chain of these three parties. In the last essay, we continue to consider such a supply chain in a multi-period setting. The retailer may be financially constrained or even distressed in each period. Either the manufacturer or the bank can offer a loan program and ultimately bear the retailer's bankruptcy risk. Formulating these two scenarios in Markov decision processes with a finite horizon and employing a Stackelberg game in each period, we show that the bank may "under-lend" to the small retailer in bank-led financing and that manufacturer-led financing outperforms its counterpart. The manufacturer, however, may "over-lend" to the retailer, which raises a concern of excessive credit risk. Debt relief is a better alternative to the manufacturer who is more willing to save…

▼ The major objective of this dissertation is extending the capabilities of game theoretic distributed control to more general settings. In particular, we are interested in drifting environments and/or constrained communications. The first part of the dissertation concerns slowly varying dynamics, i.e., drifting environments. A standard assumption in game theoretic learning is a stationary environment, e.g., the game is fixed. We investigate the case of slow variations and show that for sufficiently slow time variations, the limiting behavior “tracks” the stochastically stable states. Since the analysis is regarding Markov processes, the results could be applied to various game theoretic learning rules. In this research, the results were applied to log-linear learning. A mobile sensor coverage example was tested in both simulation and laboratory experiments. The second part considers a problem of coordinating team players' actions without any communications in team-based zero-sum games. Generally, some global signalling devices are required for common randomness between players, but communications are very limited or impossible in many practical applications. Instead of learning a one-shot strategy, we let players coordinate a periodic sequence of deterministic actions and put an assumption on opponent's rationality. Since team players' action sequences are periodic and deterministic, common randomness is no longer required to coordinate players. It is proved that if a length of a periodic action sequence is long enough, then opponents with limited rationality cannot recognize its pattern. Because the opponents cannot recognize that the players are playing deterministic actions, the players' behavior looks like a correlated and randomized joint strategy with empirical distribution of their action sequences. Consequently players can coordinate their action sequences without any communications or global signals, and the resulting action sequences have correlated behavior. Moreover, the notion of micro-players are introduced for efficient learning of long action sequences. Micro-player matching approach provides a new framework that converts the original team-based zero-sum game to a game between micro-players. By introducing a de Bruijn sequence to micro-player matching, we successfully separate the level of opponent's rationality and the size of the game of micro-players. The simulation results are shown to demonstrate the performance of micro-player matching methods. Lastly, the results of the previous two topics are combined by considering a problem of coordinating actions without communications in drifting environments. More specifically, it is assumed that the opponent player in the team-based zero-sum games tries to adjust its strategy in the set of bounded recall strategies. Then the time-varying opponent's strategy can be considered as a dynamic environment parameter in a coordination game between the team players. Additionally, we develop a human testbed program for further study regarding a human as an… Advisors/Committee Members: Shamma, Jeff S.

▼ Global warming is currently a major challenge facing the world. There are widespread ongoing efforts in the form of summits, conferences, etc., to find satisfactory ways of surmounting this challenge. The basic objective of all such efforts can be summarized as conception and formation of protocols to reduce the pace of global carbon levels. Game theory and mechanism design provide a natural modeling tool for capturing the strategic dynamics involved in global warming related problems. This dissertation explores for the first time the use of voting mechanisms in the context of solving the central problems, namely, allocation of emission caps and reduction quotas to strategic emitting agents (countries). The contribution of this dissertation is two-fold. The first contribution is to develop an elegant game theoretic model that accurately captures the strategic interactions among different emitting agents in a global warming setting. This model facilitates a convenient way of exploring a mechanism design approach for solving important allocation problems in the global warming context. The second contribution is to propose and explore a novel approach, based on voting mechanisms, to solve two problems: (1) allocating emission caps and (2) allocating reduction quotas to strategic agents. Our work investigates the use of voting mechanisms that satisfy four desirable properties: (1) non-dictatorship, (2) strategy-proofness, (3) efficiency, and (4) anonymity. In particular, we explore the median selection, maximum order statistic selection, and general Kth order statistic selection voting mechanisms. Our results clearly show that only trivial allocations satisfy all the above properties simultaneously. We next investigate the use of voting mechanisms for the dual problem, namely, allocation of emission reductions to emitting agents. Here, we show that non-trivial allocations are possible, however an important property, individual rationality, might be compromised. The investigations in the thesis bring out certain limitations in applying voting mechanisms that satisfy all the four properties above. Nevertheless, the insights obtained provide valuable guidelines for solving emission allocation related problems in a principled and informed way. Advisors/Committee Members: Narahari, Y (advisor).

▼ Abstract This thesis presents several novel improvements to video coding algorithms, including block-based motion estimation, quantization selection, and video filtering. Most of the presented improvements are fully compatible with the standards in general use, including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.261, H.263, and H.264. For quantization selection, new methods are developed based on the rate-distortion theory. The first method obtains locally optimal frame-level quantization parameter considering frame-wise dependencies. The method is applicable to generic optimization problems, including also motion estimation. The second method, aimed at real-time performance, heuristically modulates the quantization parameter in sequential frames improving significantly the rate-distortion performance. It also utilizes multiple reference frames when available, as in H.264. Finally, coding efficiency is improved by introducing a new matching criterion for motion estimation which can estimate the bit rate after transform coding more accurately, leading to better motion vectors. For fast motion estimation, several improvements on prior methods are proposed. First, fast matching, based on filtering and subsampling, is combined with a state-of-the-art search strategy to create a very quick and high-quality motion estimation method. The successive elimination algorithm (SEA) is also applied to the method and its performance is improved by deriving a new tighter lower bound and increasing it with a small constant, which eliminates a larger part of the candidate motion vectors, degrading quality only insignificantly. As an alternative, the multilevel SEA (MSEA) is applied to the H.264-compatible motion estimation utilizing efficiently the various available block sizes in the standard. Then, a new method is developed for refining the motion vector obtained from any fast and suboptimal motion estimation method. The resulting algorithm can be easily adjusted to have the desired tradeoff between computational complexity and rate-distortion performance. For refining integer motion vectors into half-pixel resolution, a new very quick but accurate method is developed based on the mathematical properties of bilinear interpolation. Finally, novel number theoretic transforms are developed which are best suited for two-dimensional image filtering, including image restoration and enhancement, but methods are developed with a view to the use of the transforms also for very reliable motion estimation.

▼ This thesis addresses three main issues in fisheries management: monitoring and enforcement; profit efficiency; and factors determining profit efficiency. The overall objective is to provide broad theoretical and empirical analysis of fisheries management issues that seek to address sustainability and efficiency questions in the industry. The first issue investigated is whether monitoring and enforcement, as management policy instruments, can lower illegal harvesting and therefore preserve fish stocks. Using a game theoretic approach the strategic interaction between management and fishers, in the presence of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU), is examined. Results of the analysis show that equilibrium compliance strategies of fishers affect stocks over time. It is further observed that increasing the cost of engaging in illegal activities, through punishment, may be sound economic policy. The second issue examined is efficiency in the South Australian Rock Lobster Fishery. To do this a new approach, in the context of fisheries, is used to overcome the small sample sizes and negative profit challenges inherent in fisheries. Specifically, the Nerlovian and Directional Distance Function methods are used to decompose profits of the fisheries into technical and allocative efficiencies. In addition, the meta-frontier efficiency technique is used to compare the Northern and Southern Zones, the two fisheries in the South Australian Rock Lobster Fishery. Results show that profit inefficiency in this fishery can be largely attributed to allocative inefficiency. Further, it is observed that there is significant variability between efficiency levels in the Northern and Southern Zones. The final issue considered is the natural question of what factors, besides technical and allocative inefficiency, may possibly explain profit inefficiencies in the South Australian Rock Lobster Fishery. To answer this question we investigate the effects of incorporating a fixed input on equilibrium profits and biomass. We first set up a theoretical model with an input that is fixed in the short-run (vessel size) but that can be used with a variable input at sub-optimal capacity. We use this model to get predictions for the impact on profits of exogenous changes in biomass, output price and vessel size. These give us interesting theoretical insights into why it is important to incorporate fixed inputs into profit analysis. We then conduct an empirical investigation to gain an understanding of the effects of these non-discretionary factors on profit efficiency. In particular, we apply a truncated regression with bootstrap methodology to data on individual firm profit efficiency from the South Australian Rock Lobster Fishery. We find empirical support for our predictions that increased biomass and smaller vessel length are associated with higher profits. An additional empirical result is that individual quota management is positively associated with profit efficiency.

▼ Distributed Interactive Applications (DIAs) enable geographically dispersed users to interact with each other in a virtual environment. A key factor to the success of a DIA is the maintenance of a consistent view of the shared virtual world for all the participants. However, maintaining consistent states in DIAs is difficult under real networks. State changes communicated by messages over such networks suffer latency leading to inconsistency across the application. Predictive Contract Mechanisms (PCMs) combat this problem through reducing the number of messages transmitted in return for perceptually tolerable inconsistency. This thesis examines the operation of PCMs using concepts and methods derived from information theory. This information theory perspective results in a novel information model of PCMs that quantifies and analyzes the efficiency of such methods in communicating the reduced state information, and a new adaptive multiple-model-based framework for improving consistency in DIAs. The first part of this thesis introduces information measurements of user behavior in DIAs and formalizes the information model for PCM operation. In presenting the information model, the statistical dependence in the entity state, which makes using extrapolation models to predict future user behavior possible, is evaluated. The efficiency of a PCM to exploit such predictability to reduce the amount of network resources required to maintain consistency is also investigated. It is demonstrated that from the information theory perspective, PCMs can be interpreted as a form of information reduction and compression. The second part of this thesis proposes an Information-Based Dynamic Extrapolation Model for dynamically selecting between extrapolation algorithms based on information evaluation and inferred network conditions. This model adapts PCM configurations to both user behavior and network conditions, and makes the most information-efficient use of the available network resources. In doing so, it improves PCM performance and consistency in DIAs.

▼ Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is a non-invasive imaging modality that allows for the quantitative study of retinal structures. SD-OCT has begun to find widespread use in the diagnosis and management of various ocular diseases. While commercial scanners provide limited analysis of a small number of retinal layers, the automated segmentation of retinal layers and other structures within these volumetric images is quite a challenging problem, especially in the presence of disease-induced changes. The incorporation of a priori information, ranging from qualitative assessments of the data to automatically learned features, can significantly improve the performance of automated methods. Here, a combined machine learning-based approach and graph-theoretic approach is presented for the automated segmentation of retinal structures in SD-OCT images. Machine-learning based approaches are used to learn textural features from a training set, which are then incorporated into the graph- theoretic approach. The impact of the learned features on the final segmentation accuracy of the graph-theoretic approach is carefully evaluated so as to avoid incorporating learned components that do not improve the method. The adaptability of this versatile combination of a machine-learning and graph-theoretic approach is demonstrated through the segmentation of retinal surfaces in images obtained from humans, mice and canines. In addition to this framework, a novel formulation of the graph-theoretic approach is described whereby surfaces with a disruption can be segmented. By incorporating the boundary of the "hole" into the feasibility definition of the set of surfaces, the final result consists of not only the surfaces but the boundary of the hole as well. Such a formulation can be used to model the neural canal opening (NCO) in SD-OCT images, which appears as a 3-D planar hole disrupting the surfaces in its vicinity. A machine-learning based approach was also used here to learn descriptive features of the NCO. Thus, the major contributions of this work include 1) a method for the automated correction of axial artifacts in SD-OCT images, 2) a combined machine-learning and graph-theoretic framework for the segmentation of retinal surfaces in SD-OCT images (applied to humans, mice and canines), 3) a novel formulation of the graph-theoretic approach for the segmentation of multiple surfaces and their shared hole (applied to the segmentation of the neural canal opening), and 4) the investigation of textural markers that could precede structural and functional change in degenerative retinal diseases.

▼ The goal of this dissertation is to examine the theoretical and empirical implications of the inventory theoretic approach to the demand for money. Chapter 1 reviews the existing inventory theoretic frameworks and empirical money demand literature and provides an overview of this thesis. One of the main conclusions is that the elasticity results from the existing inventory theoretic models are not robust. Chapter 2 develops a partial equilibrium inventory theoretic model, in which a fixed cost is involved per cash transfer. The key feature is that a firm endogenously chooses the frequency of pay periods, which a household takes as given. When the firm must borrow working capital and pay wages by cheque, I show that both the firm and the household choose to transfer cash every payday only. The model keeps the basic result from the classical inventory theoretic approach that both the income and interest elasticity of money demand are 0.5. Chapter 3 extends the partial equilibrium model into a general equilibrium framework and shows that the partial equilibrium elasticity results no longer apply in the general equilibrium. First, the income elasticity is 1 in the general equilibrium. Second, the interest elasticity has two values depending on a threshold interest rate. When interest rates are below this threshold, the model is the Cash-In-Advance model with a constant income velocity of money and zero interest elasticity; otherwise the interest elasticity is close to 0.5 and the velocity fluctuates in response to variations in interest rates. Finally, the general equilibrium elasticity results are robust across alternative specifications of the agent's utility. Chapter 4 calibrates the general equilibrium model to the last 40 years of US data for M1. By constructing a residual measure of money transaction costs from the structural money demand function, I find that a structural break in the transaction costs occurred in 1981 might have been responsible for the instability of long-run money demand. The benefit of this approach is that it can explain this pattern of money demand without appealing to an exogenous structural break in the money demand function.

▼ Resource allocation is a problem commonly encountered in strategic planning, where a typical objective is to minimize the associated cost or maximize the resulting profit. It is studied analytically and numerically for service and logistics systems in this dissertation, with the major resource being people, services or trucks. First, a staffing level problem is analyzed for large-scale single-station queueing systems. The system manager operates an Erlang-C queueing system with a quality-of-service (QoS) constraint on the probability that a customer is queued. However, in this model, the arrival rate is uncertain in the sense that even the arrival-rate distribution is not completely known to the manager. Rather, the manager has an estimate of the support of the arrival-rate distribution and the mean. The goal is to determine the number of servers needed to satisfy the quality of service constraint. Two models are explored. First, the constraint is enforced on an overall delay probability, given the probability that different feasible arrival-rate distributions are selected. In the second case, the constraint has to be satisfied by every possible distribution. For both problems, asymptotically optimal solutions are developed based on Halfin-Whitt type scalings. The work is followed by a discussion on solution uniqueness with a joint QoS constraint and a given arrival-rate distribution in multi-station systems. Second, an extension to Naor’s analysis on the joining or balking problem in observable M=M=1 queues and its variant in unobservable M=M=1 queues is presented to incorporate parameter uncertainty. The arrival-rate distribution is known to all, but the exact arrival rate is unknown in both cases. The optimal joining strategies are obtained and compared from the perspectives of individual customers, the social optimizer and the profit maximizer, where differences are recognized between the results for systems with deterministic and stochastic arrival rates. Finally, an integrated ordering and inbound shipping problem is formulated for an assembly plant with a large number of suppliers. The objective is to minimize the annual total cost with a static strategy. Potential transportation modes include full truckload shipping and less than truckload shipping, the former of which allows customized routing while the latter does not. A location-based model is applied in search of near-optimal solutions instead of an exact model with vehicle routing, and numerical experiments are conducted to investigate the insights of the problem.

En vue d’éviter ou de diminuer l’importance des dégâts causés par les accidents majeurs, il convient de modéliser les fonctions et les relations entre les composants d’un système industriel. Pour cela, dans cette thèse, on utilise la démarche de modélisation par la méthode STAMP (Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes) pour représenter la structure hiéarchique du système, ainsi que les mécanismes de contrôle nécessaire pour préserver la sécurité d’un processus industriel. Afin de traiter les problématiques liées aux contrôles de la sécurité industrielle, on propose l’utilisation de l’outil de simulation Anylogic. Cet outil, permet modéliser et de simuler le comportement du système en fonction du temps en mode normal et en mode dégradé.L’objectif de ces travaux est donc de proposer une démarche basée à la fois sur la modélisation et la simulation pour analyser les risques et prévenir les accidents d’un site de stockage et distribution de GPL (Gaz Pétrole liquéfié).

System thinking concepts and simulation tools are used to model the risk prevention plan and operational modes designed to enforce safety constraints at a French liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage and distribution facility. In France, such facilities are classified and the subject of special legislation and safety regulations. Their supervision is the responsibility of a control and regulatory body. A technological risk and prevention plan is provided, where all the dangerous phenomena likely to occur in addition to the safety control measures are listed in the safety report. Safety is therefore addressed through rules, and control mechanisms ensure that the system complies with safety constraints. Taking this facility as a case study, we use the STAMP theoretical framework together with AnyLogic simulation software to model technical elements and human and organizational behavior. We simulate how the system evolves over time and the strategies that are deployed in a loss of control scenario. The aim is to assess whether the prescribed safety program covers all of the system's phases; namely operations and audits. The results enrich other research that focuses on the contribution of system dynamics to risk analysis and accident prevention.

Nesta tese é apresentado um novo método de reconstrução de imagens, por tomografia de transmissão, de projeções sujeitas a ruído na contagem de fótons. O método de reconstrução selecionado utiliza a técnica POCS (Projections Onto Convex Sets). A estimação das projeções originais a partir das observações ruidosas se dá por meio de quatro métodos: a) estimação utilizando o critério MAP (Maximum a Posteriori); b) filtragem nos coeficientes wavelets das projeções ruidosas; c) aplicação do filtro de Wiener pontual e d) aplicação do filtro de Goodman-Belsher. É apresentado o resultado da reconstrução após a estimação das projeções, mostrando o ISNR (Improvement Signal-to-Noise Ratio) entre as imagens reconstruídas, a partir das projeções ruidosas, com a técnica POCS, estimando as projeções e sem a realização da estimação. Foram utilizados, para reconstrução tomográfica, projeções de corpos de prova obtidos por meio de simulação e também projeções obtidas experimentalmente no minitomógrafo do CNPDIA - EMBRAPA. O uso de estimação sobre as projeções ruidosas mostrou-se eficaz para melhorar a relação sinal-ruído na imagem final, pois esse pré-processamento faz com que os conjuntos impostos pelas projeções sejam mais restritivos. Deve-se observar que a melhoria das imagens obtidas com o uso de filtragem das projeções é obtida com uma relação custo-benefício bastante baixa, pois a maior parte do custo computacional está na fase de reconstrução das imagens.

In this thesis is pesented a new method for image reconstruction, by transmission tomography, for projections under noise in the counting of photons. The selected method of reconstruction uses the POCS (Projections Onto Convex Sets) technique. The estimation of the original projections from the noisy projections observed is performed through four methods: a) estimation using the MAP (Maximum a Posteriori) criteria; b) through of filtering of the wavelets coefficients of the noisy projections; c) using the pointwise Wiener filter and d) using the Goodman-Belsher filter. We present the result of reconstruction after projection estimation, showing the ISNR (Improvement Signal-to-Noise Ratio) between the reconstructed images on noisy projections, using POCS technique after the estimated projections and without this estimation. We use, for tomographic reconstruction, test body projections obtained through simulation and also projections obtained experimentally in the minitomograph scanner of CNPDIA-EMBRAPA. The use of estimation on noisy projections demonstrated to be efficient in improving the signalnoise ratio in the final image, since this pre-processing makes the sets that projections more restrictive. We should observe that the use of projection filtering is obtained with a cost-benefit ratio rather low, since the largest part of the computational effort is in the image reconstruction phase.

The relation between organized crime and corruption is widely documented. Quite often, corruption is included in the definition of organized crime as one of the most common activities of organized criminal groups. This thesis offers an interpretation of the strategic choice of criminal organizations to resort to corrupting state officials and civil servants. The game-theoretic approach adopted looks at corruption as a rational choice made by two ‘players’: criminal organizations and states. Corruption emerges as the least costly option when the power balance between the two is maintained. In the context of this theory, a description of both organized crime and corruption is attempted. Organized criminality is described as a type of unlawful activity that can be distinguished from similar collective criminal activities by reference to its tendency to establish monopolies. Understanding the nature of this criminal monopoly is crucial for an accurate description of the powerful position from which criminal organizations ‘negotiate’ with the state. Corruption is described as an instance of cooperation to the end of mutually advancing each party’s interests - that is, a phenomenon that extends beyond financial transactions and the relationship between citizens and the state. Once the crucial concepts and the proposed theory of cooperation are properly analysed, they are tested empirically by means of a hybrid historic-comparative method, which combines the methods of agreement and difference. The cases examined in the context of the former method are the Sicilian Mafia, the Japanese Jakuza and Chicago’s Outfit. Gangs are employed as a ‘control case’, since they share many characteristics with criminal organizations but lack the tendency to monopolise their area of interest. The confirmation of the theoretical findings of the thesis is followed by a critical review of the current legislation and policy recommendations.

Η σχέση ανάμεσα στο οργανωμένο έγκλημα και τη διαφθορά είναι ευρύτατα καταγεγραμμένη. Συχνά, η διαφθορά συμπεριλαμβάνεται στον ορισμό του οργανωμένου εγκλήματος ως μία από τις συνηθέστατες δραστηριότητες των εγκληματικών οργανώσεων. Αυτή η διατριβή προσφέρει μία ερμηνεία της στρατηγικής επιλογής των εγκληματικών οργανώσεων να καταφεύγουν στη διαφθορά κρατικών αξιωματούχων και δημοσίων λειτουργών. Η παιγνιοθεωρητική προσέγγιση που προκρίνεται αντιμετωπίζει τη διαφθορά ως μία ορθολογική επιλογή από τους δύο εμπλεκόμενους «παίκτες»: τις εγκληματικές οργανώσεις και τα κράτη. Η διαφθορά αναδεικνύεται ως η λιγότερο επιζήμια επιλογή όταν η σχέση ισχύος ανάμεσά τους είναι σχετικά ισορροπημένη. Στο πλαίσιο της ανάπτυξης αυτής της θεωρίας επιχειρείται η περιγραφή των δύο κρίσιμων εννοιών, ήτοι του οργανωμένου εγκλήματος και της διαφθοράς. Οι εγκληματικές οργανώσεις περιγράφονται ως ένας φαινότυπος παραβατικής δράσης που διακρίνεται από παρεμφερείς ομαδικές δραστηριότητες με βασικό κριτήριο το μονοπωλιακό χαρακτήρα της.
