Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A social system is a patterned network of interrelationships that exist between individuals, institutions, and groups forming a coherent whole. Understanding the varying system outcomes for different decision-making processes selected under varying environment constraints in advance will aid in the realization the of best decision towards an effective outcome. One of the ways to increase system productivity is ‘Agent Specialization’. Also, the agents (individuals) who operate as generalists are most vulnerable to being replaced.

Team Formation Problem (TFP) in Social Networks (SN) is to collect the group of individuals who match the requirements of given tasks under some constraints. It has several applications, including academic collaborations, healthcare, and human resource management. These types of problems are highly challenging because each individual has his or her own demands and objectives that might conflict with team objectives. The major contribution of this dissertation is to model a computational framework to discover teams of experts in various applications and predict the potential for collaboration in the future from a given SN. Inspired by an evolutionary search technique …
