Abstract: The size and composition of social networks rely on the characteristics of the nodes and the infrastructure, both tangible and intangible. The networking mechanisms themselves, however, depend on circumstances such as meeting or team collaboration opportunities. A set of determinants of networking mechanisms will be discussed in this paper, and in particular the number of events over a given period is highlighted. This aim will be implemented by an agent-based simulation approach and empirically verified using network data from an Austrian regional project. Finally, the simulation results will be used to draw some conclusions on a place-based geography derived from the network-based geography. Keywords: team assembly mechanisms, event dependency, agent-based simulation, social networks Published Online: 2017/06/30 12:25:09 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x00369db9 Rights:https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/
GI_Forum publishes high quality original research across the transdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The journal provides a platform for dialogue among GI-Scientists and educators, technologists and critical thinkers in an ongoing effort to advance the field and ultimately contribute to the creation of an informed GISociety. Submissions concentrate on innovation in education, science, methodology and technologies in the spatial domain and their role towards a more just, ethical and sustainable science and society. GI_Forum implements the policy of open access publication after a double-blind peer review process through a highly international team of seasoned scientists for quality assurance. Special emphasis is put on actively supporting young scientists through formative reviews of their submissions. Only English language contributions are published.
