Uddin, Upul Senanayake","doi":"10.1145/2639968.2640062","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2639968.2640062","url":null,"abstract":"Game theory has long been used to model cognitive decision making in societies. While traditional game theoretic modelling has focussed on well-mixed populations, recent research has suggested that the topological structure of social networks play an important part in the dynamic behaviour of social systems. Any agent or person playing a game employs a strategy (pure or mixed) to optimise pay-off. Previous studies have analysed how selfish agents can optimise their payoffs by choosing particular strategies within a social network model. In this paper we ask the question that, if agents were to work towards the common goal of increasing the public good (that is, the total network utility), what strategies they should adapt within the context of a heterogeneous network. We consider a number of classical and recently demonstrated game theoretic strategies, including cooperation, defection, general cooperation, Pavlov, and zero-determinant strategies, and compare them pairwise. We use the Iterative Prisoners Dilemma game simulated on scale-free networks, and use a genetic-algorithmic approach to investigate what optimal placement patterns evolve in terms of strategy. In particular, we ask the question that, given a pair of strategies are present in a network, which strategy should be adopted by the hubs (highly connected people), for the overall betterment of society (high network utility). We find that cooperation as opposed to defection, Pavlov as opposed to general cooperator, general cooperator as opposed to zero-determinant, and pavlov as opposed to zero-determinant, strategies will be adopted by the hubs, for the overall increased utility of the network. The results are interesting, since given a scenario where certain individuals are only capable of implementing certain strategies, the results give a blueprint on where they should be placed in a complex network for the overall benefit of the society.","PeriodicalId":206201,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Social Computing","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122518031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strength of the relation is often determined by the number of publications being made by the collaborating researchers. Thus this relation among the collaborators can be represented by a weighted network, where the nodes represent the authors and the links weights are determined by the strength of the relation. In this paper, we study the evolution of such weighted networks based on the mutual trust among the authors (that we term as link trust) as well as the global trust of the authors in the network (that we term as node trust). We have identified various metrices to measure these trusts. Based on these measures we have analyzed the role of both node as well as link trust in the evolution of networks. Our observations are based on a publication data set in the area of computer science. We have also proposed suitable analytical models that closely mimics the evolution of these networks based on these trust characteristics. Our results indicate that these trust parameters play significant, yet different roles in evolution of those networks.","PeriodicalId":206201,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Social Computing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130523334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a secure value-added service scheme based on blind signature technique for VANET. On one hand, the feature of the portable credential could eliminate the backend communications between roadside unit and service provider. Roadside unit could locally authenticate legitimate vehicles and make sure they are requesting their authorized services. On the other hand, vehicles could achieve the necessary privacy without revealing their real identities. Moreover, the proposed scheme provides more security features than previous works, especially in prevention of privilege elevation problem. Furthermore, compared to the results of those existing systems, we show that the proposed scheme is feasible and efficient.","PeriodicalId":206201,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Social Computing","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133409243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These carriers need to understand the determinants of churn to confidently apply effective retention strategies to ensure their profitability and growth. In this paper, we look at the effect of peer influence on churn and we try to disentangle it from other effects that drive simultaneous churn across friends but that do not relate to peer influence. We analyze a random sample of roughly 10 thousand subscribers from large dataset from a major wireless carrier over a period of 10 months. We apply survival models and generalized propensity score to identify the role of peer influence. We show that the propensity to churn increases when friends do and that it increases more when many strong friends churn. Therefore, our results suggest that churn managers should consider strategies aimed at preventing group churn. We also show that survival models fail to disentangle homophily from peer influence over-estimating the effect of peer influence.","PeriodicalId":206201,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Social Computing","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134482784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results partially support the hypothesis that activity in scholarly networks is associated with academic output, and show that Scholars who both collaborated online and published their academic work together bridge structural holes in the network.

The first order correlations show an interesting association between these neighborhood attributes and particular types of sentiments. We further group neighborhoods with similar demographic characteristics and observe that between two demographic groups, sentiments diverge in several sentiment categories including joy and disgust.
