Abstract

The networking form of organizations is becoming prevalent and worthy of study in every realm of social structure. In this paper we focus on the way this statement holds in the context of collaborative research networks. In order to do so, we analyze a specific network of researchers by looking at the CASCON conference paper co-authorship structure. CASCON is an annual International Conference hosted by the Centre for Advanced Studies, IBM Canada Software Laboratory. We utilize the Social Network Analysis framework to understand what characterizes the social structure of the CASCON research paper network and, based on our findings, we offer preliminary insights regarding potential actions that can be taken to further develop the CASCON and other similar communities.
