Modeling and Simulation on Knowledge Transfer among Unofficial Groups Based on Communication Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

With features of good interactivity and fast spread speed, unofficial networks play a significant role in knowledge transfer. Based on theories of communication networks and computational modeling method, the transfer situation of complex networks theory within Chinas learned societies, including its rising, spread and development, was modeled and then made simulation analysis by using the Blanche software. By comparing the analysis results with periodicals data from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the effectiveness of the built model and the reliability of Blanche in multi-agent simulation research are all validated. Furthermore, the future development of complex networks theory in China is predicted as well.
