WICI Talk: Dr. Johan Koskinen -Analysing covert networks from unstructured sources

Understanding covert and criminal behaviour from a social network perspective is gathering increasing currency. While the standard social network paradigm assumes that network data has been collected though eliciting ties from respondents in a predefined set of individuals, covert networks pose obviously challenges in several respects. Firstly, the individuals in the network might not be known a prior. Secondly, what constitutes a relevant set of individuals and ties might be ambiguous.

WICI Talk: Dr. Noelle Eckley Selin : Systems Approaches to Sustainability: Climate, Air Pollution, and Toxic Substances

Managing air pollution, toxic substances, and climate change is a complex, linked sustainability challenge. To better inform efforts to address these issues, we need to understand how policies to address emissions translate into societal benefits. In this talk, Dr.ÌýSelin will present work from her research group, using a systems approach to better understand air pollutants such as particulate matter, ozone, and mercury.

WICI Speaker Series with Robert Axtell

Dr. Robert L. Axtell, Professor of Computational Social Science at George Mason University, illustrates how a ‘complexity economics’ approach using large-scale agent-based computing methodology offers novel insights unavailable from conventional rational expectations equilibrium models.
