Abstract:
Complex phenomena arising from the interaction of ``elemental'' pieces have been first studied in physics and biology, where such constitutive particles were given deterministic rules for their behavior. In that context it was already clear that even critical outcomes can result on the aggregate level in situations where agents' behaviors are ``mechanic'' and ``simple''. In recent years, inspired by real-world phenomena, economics and other social sciences have also started to play a role in this very wide strand of research. On the one hand, by introducing degrees of rationality in agents

Abstract:
This thesis explores the problem of tracking the diffusion of contagion processes on social networks. Infection (or Information) diffusion is modeled using the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) model. Mean field approximation is employed to approximate the discrete valued infection dynamics by a deterministic ordinary differential equation, thereby yielding a generative model for the infection diffusion. The infection is shown to follow polynomial dynamics and is estimated using an exact non-linear Bayesian filter. We compute posterior Cramer-Rao bounds to obtain the fundamental limits of

Abstract:
Interpersonal communication with network infrastructure creates mobile and online social networks, which shorten the distance among people. It naturally leads to an important question asking for a clear and detailed description of information dissemination and diffusion process in social networks.

In the thesis we focus on two concrete sub-questions. The first one is to describe the performance of mobile social networks under the pr

Information diffusion in online social networks has received attention in both research and actual applications.

L’objectif de cette thèse est de répondre à trois questions principales ; commentexpliquer et interpréter un réseau de collaboration, est-ce que des firmes avec une positionparticulière dans un réseau bénéficient d’une performance accrue et enfin, existe-t-il desstructures de réseaux qui favorisent l’innovation ?Pour répondre à ces questions, la thèse est organisée en trois parties. La première partieprésente, dans un premier chapitre, une revue analytique de la littérature suivie d’un chapitrequi présente la théorie derrière une des méthodes d’analyse réseau utilisée dans cette thèse :les Exp

Abstract:
This study considers the emergence of Marine Spatial Planning as a tool for ecosystem-basedmanagement using an innovation diffusion perspective that combines elements of classical diffusionof innovations theory with a consideration of individual and networked agency and cross-scaledynamics in the context of a social-ecological systems perspective. The main findings are that thediffusion of Marine Spatial Planning does not follow a linear, technologically deterministic process asindicated by many diffusion of innovation studies but instead the diffusion process can becharacterised by a hybrid d

Abstract:
Esta tese apresenta um estudo de modelos de crescimento e contágio em redes, relacionando propriedades topológicas das redes com propriedades dinâmicas da evolução. Dos modelos de crescimento, desenvolve-se uma extensão do conceito de coeficiente de aglomeração para melhor determinar a validade desses modelos, demonstrando-se a utilidade de tal extensão em informar o papel não trivial da topologia dos ciclos entre modelos e redes reais. Dos modelos de contágio, utiliza-se uma modificação do modelo generalizado de Dodds e Watts para investigar o problema prático de planejar estratégias para dif

Abstract:
Durant cette thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés aux outils permettant d'extraire les propriétés structurelles et temporelles de réseaux dynamiques ainsi que les caractéristiques de certains scénarios de diffusion pouvant s'opérer sur ces réseaux. Nous avons travaillé sur un jeu de données spécifiques, issu du projet MOSAR, qui comporte entre autre le réseau de proximité des personnes au cours du temps durant 6 mois à l'hôpital de Berk-sur-mer. Ce réseau est particulier dans le sens où il est constitué de trois dimensions: temporelle, structurelle par la répartition des personnes en services et
