Carley's research involves applying computational social science, cognitive science, organization science, dynamic network analysis, social network analysis, machine learning, data analytics and text analytics to complex social and organizational problems such as social cybersecurity, disinformation, disease contagion, disaster response, and terrorism. She develops social and dynamic network analytical and visual techniques, agent-based models, network based text mining and machine learning tools, all predicated on blending socio-cognitive theory with advanced computation. She and members of her center have developed novel tools and technologies for analyzing large-scale geo-centric dynamic-networks and various multi-agent simulation systems. These tools include: ORA, a statistical and graphical toolkit for analyzing and visualizing multi-dimensional networks, dynamic-networks, geo- spatial networks with special features for social media analytics; NetMapper and AutoMap are text-mining systems for extracting semantic networks from texts and then cross-classifying them using an organizational ontology into the underlying social, knowledge, resource and task networks, as well as sentiment. Her simulation models meld agent- based technology with network dynamics and empirical data. For example, BioWar is a city-scale dynamic-network agent-based model for understanding the spread of disease and illness due to natural epidemics, chemical spills and weaponized biological attacks; and Construct is an agent-based dynamic-network model for assessing network evolution and the diffusion of information and beliefs under diverse socio-demographic and media environments. Dr. Carley is the director of the center for Computational Analysis of Social and Organizational Systems (CASOS) and the center for Informed Democracy and Social-cybersecurity. She is the founding co-editor of the journal Computational Organization Theory and has co-edited several books in the computational organizations and dynamic network area.

These systems may be complex for a variety of reasons. For example, they may be complex because there is a need to coordinate many groups, because humans are interacting with technology, because there are non‐ routine or very knowledge intensive tasks. At the heart of this complexity is a set of adaptive agents who are connected or linked to other agents forming a network and who are constrained or enabled by the world they inhabit. Computational modeling can be used to help analyze, reason about, predict the behavior of, and possibly control such complex systems of "networked" agents.

Advances in Strategic Management: Population-Level Learning and Industry Change, Vol. 16. Elsevier Science Ltd. Pp. 33-56. - 1 - ABSTRACT Change is readily seen both within organizations and within populations of organizations. Such change has been characterized as organization or population level learning or evolution. Underlying such change, is change at the individual human and social network level. Herein, it is asked, how does the way in which individuals learn and the way in which networks evolve reflect itself in organizational and population level learning. What changes should emerge at the organization and population level due to learning, information diffusion, and network change at the individual level? Herein it is argued that organization and population level phenomena, such as performance improvements, mis-learning, and shakeouts emerge from the on-going processes of change at the individual level. Looking at learning and information diffusion enables the organizational theorist to link micro and macro level organizational phenomena.

Carley, 1999, “On Generating Hypotheses Using Computer Simulations. “ Systems Engineering, 2(2): 69-77. (short version in CCRTS Proceedings) Abstract Computational modeling is increasingly being used to do theory development. Computer simulation, numerical estimation, and emulation models are used to describe complex systems and generate a series of hypotheses about the behavior of these systems under different scenarios. These hypotheses can serve as guides to the design of human laboratory experiments and can suggest what data to collect in field and gaming situations. Models that are particularly useful in this venue are process models of non-linear systems where multiple factors dynamically interact. This chapter describes these models and illustrates how they can be used to generate a series of hypotheses that guide future endeavors. 1 On Generating Hypotheses using Computer Simulations Kathleen M.

    Organizational Change and the Digital Economy: A Computational Organization Science Perspective Kathleen M. Carley Social and Decision Sciences and H.J.Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-3225 [email protected] http://sds.hss.cmu.edu/faculty/carley/carley.htm Abstract E-commerce, the web, computers, and information technology in general are often viewed as a technological panacea where all that is needed is better technology to eliminate social and organizational problems, to make organizations more efficient, effective and productive, and to create an effective digital economy. Technological solutions are expected to eliminate barriers to entry, increase the amount of available information, and provide uniform access to information, people, and information based services. There can be little doubt that information technology is transforming social and economic systems, particularly commerce. However, it is still the case that the networks linking people, knowledge, and companies both enable and constrain the impact of this technology. These social and cognitive networks, along with the needs of individuals for privacy, and the needs of companies to protect core intellectual property, are at odds with the open and uniform access assumptions often made about the digital economy. As we move into a digital economy we need to understand how these networks and individual and corporate needs will influence and shape the resulting organizations and markets. Recent work in computational organization science provides guidance for assessing, measuring, monitoring, and predicting organizational change as we move into a digital economy where technological change is increasing information and access in the face of social and cognitive constraints.

  • Formalizing Common Sense Reasoning for Scalable Inconsistency-Robust Information Integration Using Direct Logictm Reasoning and the Actor Model
    Formalizing common sense reasoning for scalable inconsistency-robust information integration using Direct LogicTM Reasoning and the Actor Model Carl Hewitt. http://carlhewitt.info This paper is dedicated to Alonzo Church, Stanisław Jaśkowski, John McCarthy and Ludwig Wittgenstein. ABSTRACT People use common sense in their interactions with large software systems. This common sense needs to be formalized so that it can be used by computer systems. Unfortunately, previous formalizations have been inadequate. For example, because contemporary large software systems are pervasively inconsistent, it is not safe to reason about them using classical logic. Our goal is to develop a standard foundation for reasoning in large-scale Internet applications (including sense making for natural language) by addressing the following issues: inconsistency robustness, classical contrapositive inference bug, and direct argumentation. Inconsistency Robust Direct Logic is a minimal fix to Classical Logic without the rule of Classical Proof by Contradiction [i.e., (Ψ├ (¬))├¬Ψ], the addition of which transforms Inconsistency Robust Direct Logic into Classical Logic. Inconsistency Robust Direct Logic makes the following contributions over previous work: Direct Inference Direct Argumentation (argumentation directly expressed) Inconsistency-robust Natural Deduction that doesn’t require artifices such as indices (labels) on propositions or restrictions on reiteration Intuitive inferences hold including the following: . Propositional equivalences (except absorption) including Double Negation and De Morgan . -Elimination (Disjunctive Syllogism), i.e., ¬Φ, (ΦΨ)├T Ψ . Reasoning by disjunctive cases, i.e., (), (├T ), (├T Ω)├T Ω . Contrapositive for implication i.e., Ψ⇒ if and only if ¬⇒¬Ψ . Soundness, i.e., ├T ((├T) ⇒ ) . Inconsistency Robust Proof by Contradiction, i.e., ├T (Ψ⇒ (¬))⇒¬Ψ 1 A fundamental goal of Inconsistency Robust Direct Logic is to effectively reason about large amounts of pervasively inconsistent information using computer information systems.

  • Validating Computational Models
    Validating Computational Models Kathleen M. Carley Associate Professor of Sociology Department of Social and Decision Sciences Carnegie Mellon University September 1996 This work was supported in part by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), United States Navy Grant No. N00014-93-1-0793 (UConn FRS 521676). The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the Office of Naval Research or the U.S. government. Validating Computational Models Abstract The use of computational models in the social sciences has grown quickly in the past decade. For many these models represent a bewildering and possibly intimidating approach to examining data and developing social and organizational theory. Few researchers have had courses or personal experience in the development and building of computational models and even fewer have an understanding of how to validate such models. And while many papers extort the relative advantages and disadvantages of the computational approach, and many call for the validation of such models, few provide insight into how to validate such models and the issues involved in validation. This paper represents an attempt at redressing this oversight. An overview is provided of computational modeling in the social sciences, types of validation, and some of the issues in doing model validation. Validating Computational Models There is a growing trend in the social and organizational sciences to employ computational models1 in developing and testing theories. Such models are uniquely valuable for addressing issues of learning, adaptation, and evolution. The value of these models for theory building, however, will require an increased understanding of the potential of these models, and when and how they should be validated.
