A postdoc opportuinity is available at the University of Sydney to
work with Dr Liaquat Hossain. Dr Hossain and his group are
interested in exploring the effects of social networks on
coodination. They are working on number of projects which deal with
modeling dynamic coordination through social networks. Traditionally,
within studies of multi organisational coordination, there has been a
discounting or neglect of social networks as a source of exploring
the inherent relationships among actors, their activities, shared
goals and interdependencies. Coordinating operations requiring more
'collaborative problem solving' involving officials and local
communities are underscored in recent studies. Dr Liaquat's aim is to
develop social networks based theoretical perspectives for the study
of coordination structures in a dynamic environment. He applies
theories and methods from network centrality to model the dynamic
coordination structure and process. Specific projects in this are are
as follows:
* Dynamic Network Modeling of Emergency Response Coordination
* Towards a Distributed Behavioral Model for Measuring Emergency
Response Readiness
* Developing Coordination Models for Measuring SW Testing Team Performance
* Modeling Comunication and Coordination Process for Emergency
Department of Hospitals
* Effect of Social Ties on Interorganisational Coordination
