Evolution of the Complicated Innovation Networks with Multi-Agent

Abstract:

Using the patents with multi-agent, we provide detailed insights into the cooperation of the marine industry, which is also a complicated innovation network with different agents, such as universities, research institutes, companies. Patent applications and publications are used as measures for the innovation output of the industry. We find that the cooperation in the four different stages is getting more and more intent, and companies are the biggest nodes in the networks. Effects are found that the nodes with more independent innovation would cooperate more with other nodes. Company nodes also tend to seek more partners in the interior, and have more cooperation with partners. But the internal cooperation is a little in the universities and research institutes.
