  • Abstract
    This paper describes a new method for analysing knowledge transfer among interacting agents. By drawing on concepts from social network analysis, it develops a new approach to the study of valued affiliation networks. The case of the network of students involved in a distance learning engineering programme is then analysed to gain a better understanding of the possible applications of the proposed method.
