CALL FOR PAPER
This workshop aims to bring together experts interested in the theory and practice of computational models of network organizations. The objective is to advance understanding and crafting of network organizations. Substantial amount of research work is ongoing in distributed knowledge management. This workshop intends to emphasize the operational elements of various networks that facilitate elements of network organization. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques indicating future directions are also encouraged. Social as well as cognitive foundations surrounding network organizations are of special interest. We invite theoretical and pragmatic contributions from specialists with capacities for explaining or predicting changes in the life cycle of online organizations. Explorations of social capital embedded in collaboration networks that play central role for their continued functioning and maintenance are within our scope.
