GIVING CREDIT FOR SAYING WHAT YOU MEAN AND MEANING WHAT YOU SAY!

I'll learn 'em to steal my house! he [Toad] cried. Don't say learn 'em Toad, said the Rat, greatly shocked. It's not good English. What are you always nagging at Toad For? inquired the Badger rather peevishly. What's the matter with his English? It's the same what I use myself, and if it's good enough for me it ought to be good enough for you! I'm very sorry said the Rat humbly. Only I think it ought to be teach 'em, not learn 'em. But we don't want to teach 'em, replied the Badger. We want to learn 'em! And, what's more, we're going to do it too!

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).
