    collaborations among participants with
    introductory and advanced backgrounds in the area

    Social Networks is a field of study that focuses
    on social relations among a set of
    actors--people, teams, and organizations. In the
    process of working in this field, researchers
    have developed a set of distinctive theoretical
    perspectives sympathetic with systems theory and
    complexity theory. Social networks are also
    characterized by a distinctive methodology
    encompassing techniques for collecting data,
    statistical analysis, and visual representation.
    Some of the hallmarks of Social Networks perspectives are:
    · Focus on relationships between actors rather than attributes of actors
    · Sense of interdependence: a molecular rather atomistic view
    · Structure affects substantive outcomes
