Multiplex Networks

Outcomes of first meeting

(1) We develop several cases where multiplex networks can help illuminate dynamics that cannot be studied using a single network (a) Tax game, we need to talk more about payoffs and strategies. (b) Why Stalin went after friends and family of potential enemies? He recognized that informal networks matter (c) Dynamics of decision making and conflict resolution in firms and other organizations (d) We need some cases from ecology?

(2) We divided into two groups: Modeling and Content The content group has to come up with ideas on what to model, in particular what is meaningful for each domain and what is meaningful across domain. They need to do some literature review, perhaps even find data that related to Multiplex networks. Who is coordinating this group?

The modeling groups needs to talk some code from C++ to Python, perhaps make agents thicker,i.e. given them ability to do something. They also need to figure out a GUI that can be used by people who do not want to go into the code to change things. Ali is coordinating this group.

(3) The sub-groups may meet more often, the large group will meet next on Wednesday

Next Meeting: Wedn,18th time TBA, same place as last meeting

Agenda for Meeting

(1) CONTENT group: what does mean multiplex in your domain? a. What does multiplex network mean in different disciplines? b. What are meaningful games in different disciplines? c. What are meaningful strategies in different disciplines?

(2) MODELLING group: modelling thinking.

Next Meeting: Wedn, 25th time TBA, same place as last meeting
