Professor
Carley specializes in organization theory, dynamic
network analysis, social networks, multi-agent systems
and computational social science. In her work, she
examines how cognitive, social and institutional factors
affect individual, team, social and policy outcomes.
She is the author or co-author of 5 books and over
100 articles in the area of computational social and
organizational science and dynamic network analysis.
Recent publications include - Designing Stress Resistant
Organizations: Computational Theorizing and Crisis
Applications with Zhiang Lin (Boston, MA: Kluwer,
2003); Dynamic Social Network Modeling and Analysis:
Workshop Summary and Papers with Ron Breiger and Pipp
Pattison (Washington, DC: National Academy Press,
forthcoming); Smart Agents and Organizations of the
Future in The Handbook of New Media, edited by Leah
Lievrouw & Sonia Livingstone (Thousand Oaks, CA,
Sage, 2003). Her research combines cognitive science,
social networks and computer science. Her specific
research areas are computational social and organization
theory, group, organizational and social adaptation
and evolution, dynamic network analysis, computational
text analysis, and the impact of information and telecommunication
technologies on communication and information diffusion
within and among groups. Her computer simulation models
meld multi-agent technology with network dynamics
and are in areas such as BioWar - a city, scale model
of weaponized biological attacks; OrgAhead - a model
of strategic and natural organizational adaptation;
and Construct - a model of the co-evolution of social
and knowledge networks and personal/organizational
identity and capability.
Professor
Carley has served on the National Research Council
panel on Dynamic Social Networks, and Modeling Human
and Organizational Behavior: Application to Military
Simulations and on various National Science Foundation
committees. She is a member of the Academy of Management,
Informs, International Network for Social Networks
Analysis , American Sociological Society, the American
Association for the Advancement of Science and Sigma
XI. In 2001 she received the Lifetime Achievement
Award from the Sociology & Computers Section of
the ASA. She is a founding and the current editor
of the journal Computational and Mathematical Organization
Theory.
