Complex Network Analysis for Organizational Management


A program "Saltie" which analyzes network-structure was developed. By using "Saltie", I analyzed and visualized a network structure of researchers in AIST and their co-authors (as shown in Figs.1 and 2). The value of short path betweeness (SPB) was analyzed and 10 linkages with large SPB are visualized.

Fig 1: An example of Coauthor Networks. Network is constructed from the oral presentations in 2004. Each node color represents the researher's divison: 1) Violet is Life Science and Biotechnology, 2) Bule is Information Technology, 3) Yellow is Nanotechnology , Materials & Manufacturing, 4) Green is Environment and Energy, 5) Aquamarine is Geological Survey and Applied Geoscience, and 6) Red is Metrology and Measurement Science.
