THE GOOD THE BAD THE UGLY

Often times I find myself wondering whether criminals are the refuse of society or the only honest parts. Barred and neatly tucked away like the best lie as if to signify our shame.

But if we are all comprised of the same parts; connected by our biological and fatalistic limitations aren't then the worst of us merely some representation of a deep longing or want to exists within the bowels of each in every one of us? And if my presumption is accurate the ones we deem as outcasts or "criminal" the most human of us all.

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
