SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING LEADERSHIP

摘要

A system, method and computer program product for detecting leadership in a socio-technical environment based on the chronologic distribution of artifacts. The system and method captures and makes use of chronologic information as a predictor of causality in the dissemination of artifacts. A measure of leadership is based in part on the amount of relevant artifacts generated as a result, and temporal causality is used to detect this. The system method and computer program product further determines the patterns of behavior that govern a socio-technical context. By defining a set of patterns and comparing them with the interactions observed within a socio-technical network issues are discoverable.
