English abstract:
Flexible interactions in complex social and serviceoriented
collaboration systems increasingly demand for automated
adaptation techniques to optimize partner discovery
and selection. Today, applications of complex service-oriented
systems can be found in crowdsourcing environments. In
such environments, collaborations are typically short-lived
and strongly influenced by incentives and actor behavior. As
actors prove their reliable and dependable behavior in jointly
performed activities, they become increasingly considered as
invaluable partners. A social network builds a strong basis to
enable successful collaborations between crowd members. In
order to keep track of the dynamics in such systems, it is
inevitable to apply an autonomous approach to manage social
network structures automatically using captured interaction
data. Thus, we introduce an adaptation concept that accounts
for emerging social relations based on varying interaction behavior
of collaboration partners. We describe the foundational
concepts for dynamic social link management in Web-based
collaborations. We highlight major concerns of computational
models in highly dynamic networks and deal with temporal
aspects such as supporting the emergence of relations, efficient
update mechanisms, and aging of relations.

Keywords:
computational social network management; emergence of social relations; service-oriented crowdsourcing
