CARLEY
Professor
Institute for Software Research International
 www
Kathleen M. Carley is the director of the center for Computational
Analysis of Social and Organizational Systems (CASOS), a university
wide interdisciplinary center that brings together dynamic social
network analysis, computer science and organization science (www.casos.cs.cmu.edu)
and has an associated NSF funded training program for Ph.D. students.
She carries out research that combines cognitive science, dynamic
social networks, text processing, organizations, social and computer
science in a variety of theoretical and applied venues ranging from
organizational design to destabilization of covert neteworks. Her
specific research areas are computational social and organization
theory; dynamic social networks; multi-agent network models; group,
organizational, and social adaptation, and evolution; statistical
models for dynamic network analysis and evolution, computational
text analysis, and the impact of telecommunication technologies on
communication and information diffusion within and among groups.
Sheand the CASOS lab have developed numerous tools such as: ORGAHEAD,
a tool for examining organizational adaptation, CONSTRUCT, a computational
model of the co-evolution of people and social Networks, DyNet, a
computational model for network destabilization, BioWar a city-scale
multi-agent network model of weaponized biological attacks, ORA a
statistical toolkit for soanalyzing dynamic networks and assesing
their vulnerabilities, and AutoMap which are computational tools
for automated text analysis.
