Networks of Excellence (NoE) in European Union are specific instrument of the 6th and 7th European Framework Programmes for achieving the long-term goal of integration of research activities in Europe within the concept of European Research Area. Shortly after its launch in Europe in 2003, this new organisational form spread to Russia: in 2006 the pilot virtual community of researchers Network of excellence “Development of interfirm cooperation forms: networks and relationships ” has been launched by several professors of Marketing at the State University- Higher School of Economics. While being truly important for researchers, NoE is a completely new form of research community integration, and it has not yet been an object of a serious study. In this paper we outline a theoretical framework for NoE functioning and the interaction of its members. In case studies of the European NoE called PRIME and the Russian pilot project we investigate in depth the dimensions of design (purposes and evaluation) and implementation (governance mechanisms and evolution paths), and explain the systemic interrelations between the NoEs ’ organisational properties and their development context. We show how European experience can be adapted and exploited for implementing research networks in Russia. The summary and conclusions follow.

The Wealth of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom

by Yochai Benkler , 2007
"... This is a visionary book written by a man on a mission. It articulates one possible answer to the question of what might come after the proprietary-based knowledge-based economy that currently exists in advanced countries. Benkler is professor of law at Yale Law School and one of the most ardent pro ..."

and culture play a central role. This has become feasible because the capital required for social production and exchange in the networked information economy is relatively cheap and widely distributed. Much of the book argues the perceived advantages of the networked information economy from a multi

Conditional value-at-risk for general loss distributions

by R. Tyrrell Rockafellar, Stanislav Uryasev - Journal of Banking and Finance , 2002
"... Abstract. Fundamental properties of conditional value-at-risk, as a measure of risk with significant advantages over value-at-risk, are derived for loss distributions in finance that can involve discreetness. Such distributions are of particular importance in applications because of the prevalence o ..."

Non-oscillatory central differencing for hyperbolic conservation laws

by Haim Nessyahu, Eitan Tadmor - J. COMPUT. PHYS , 1990
"... Many of the recently developed high-resolution schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws are based on upwind differencing. The building block of these schemes is the averaging of an approximate Godunov solver; its time consuming part involves the field-by-field decomposition which is required in orde ..."

in order to identify the “direction of the wind. ” Instead, we propose to use as a building block the more robust Lax-Friedrichs (LxF) solver. The main advantage is simplicity: no Riemann problems are solved and hence field-by-field decompositions are avoided. The main disadvantage is the excessive

Developments in the Measurement of Subjective Well-Being

"... F or good reasons, economists have had a long-standing preference for studying peoples' revealed preferences; that is, looking at individuals' actual choices and decisions rather than their stated intentions or subjective reports of likes and dislikes. Yet people often make choices that b ..."

A Taxonomy of Global Optimization Methods Based on Response Surfaces

by Donald R. Jones - Journal of Global Optimization , 2001
"... Abstract. This paper presents a taxonomy of existing approaches for using response surfaces for global optimization. Each method is illustrated with a simple numerical example that brings out its advantages and disadvantages. The central theme is that methods that seem quite reasonable often have no ..."

Dimensionality Reduction for Fast Similarity Search in Large Time Series Databases

by Eamonn Keogh, Kaushik Chakrabarti, Michael Pazzani, Sharad Mehrotra , 2000
"... The problem of similarity search in large time series databases has attracted much attention recently. It is a non-trivial problem because of the inherent high dimensionality of the data. The most promising solutions involve first performing dimensionality reduction on the data, and then indexing th ..."

technique which we call Piecewise Aggregate Approximation (PAA). We theoretically and empirically compare it to the other techniques and demonstrate its superiority. In addition to being competitive with or faster than the other methods, our approach has numerous other advantages. It is simple to understand

Naive Diversification Strategies in Defined Contribution Saving Plans

by Benartzi, Richard H. Thaler - American Economic Review , 2001
"... There is a worldwide trend toward defined contribution saving plans and growing interest in privatized Social Security plans. In both environments, individuals are given some responsibility to make their own asset-allocation decisions, raising concerns about how well they do at this task. This paper ..."

(JEL G11, G23, H55) There is a worldwide trend toward defined contribution saving plans in which investment decisions are made by the plan participants themselves (Employee Benefit Research Institute, 1997). While the advantages of such plans

DETERMINANT MAXIMIZATION WITH LINEAR MATRIX INEQUALITY CONSTRAINTS

by Lieven Vandenberghe , Stephen Boyd , Shao-po Wu
"... The problem of maximizing the determinant of a matrix subject to linear matrix inequalities arises in many fields, including computational geometry, statistics, system identification, experiment design, and information and communication theory. It can also be considered as a generalization of the s ..."
