Impossible organisations: anarchism and organisational praxis (2014)
Journal Article
Reedy, P. (2014). Impossible organisations: anarchism and organisational praxis. Ephemera: Theory and Politics in Organization, 14(4), 639-658

The paper considers the implications of this limited focus eve... Read More about Impossible organisations: anarchism and organisational praxis.

Partitioning networks into cliques: a randomized heuristic approach (2014)
Journal Article
Chalupa, D. (2014). Partitioning networks into cliques: a randomized heuristic approach. Information Sciences and Technologies Bulletin of the ACM Slovakia, 6(3), 1-8

In the context of community detection in social networks, the term community can be grounded in the strict way that simply everybody should know each other within the community. We consider the corresponding community detection problem. We search for... Read More about Partitioning networks into cliques: a randomized heuristic approach.
