“…Shakespeare [47] and many other researchers [48][49][50][51] emphasized usability, feasibility, accuracy, adequacy, meaningfulness, validity, verifiability, connectivity, and sensitiveness. In addition, Burns et al [52] and Kwak [53] presented organization's mission, expertise, experience, and stakeholder coordination, confidence recovery, representative democracy healing, and problem-solving skills. In these backgrounds, we selected the four factors, 'accountability', 'problem-solving ability', 'connectivity', and 'professionality', as sub-factors of service administration on the social system.…”

Increasing demand for various social services in accordance with the global social change in time requires a systematic and efficient system based on a user-oriented policy operation method beyond an administrative operation method of social services. Therefore, this study aimed to present a specific direction for the development of the social service system by empirically deriving and discussing the critical factors that can lead to sustainable success of the social service system. To this end, 12 factors in 3 areas were critically analyzed through a questionnaire survey and analysis on the basis of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method for the social service workers and users of the 50 Plus Foundation, an organization that helps the elderly in Seoul to continue their social participation. The analysis results confirmed that the service delivery system was the most important factor among the service delivery system, service administration, and service network, and, in particular, factors for users’ active system access, such as accessibility and participation possibility, were the most influential factors for sustainable success of the social service system. Ultimately, unlike in the past, system development and direction should be sought by considering service users rather than a one-sided policy approach of the government for the development and operation of the social service system.

“…Not all games are necessarily well-defined with, for instance, clearly specified and consistent norms and roles and role relationships. Many such situations can be described and analyzed in "open game" terms (Burns et al 2017). 28 Given an interaction situation S t in context t (time, space, social and physical environment), some rules and subcomplexes of the general game structure G(t) are activated and implemented or realized.…”

Abstract:This article aims to present some of the initial work of developing a social science grounded game theory-as a clear alternative to classical game theory. Two distinct independent initiatives in Sociology are presented: One, a systems approach, social systems game theory (SGT), and the other, Erving Goffman's interactionist approach (IGT). These approaches are presented and contrasted with classical theory. They focus on the social rules, norms, roles, role relationships, and institutional arrangements, which structure and regulate human behavior. While strategic judgment and instrumental rationality play an important part in the sociological approaches, they are not a universal or dominant modality of social action determination. Rule following is considered, generally speaking, more characteristic and more general. Sociological approaches, such as those outlined in this article provide a language and conceptual tools to more adequately and effectively than the classical theory describe, model, and analyze the diversity and complexity of human interaction conditions and processes: (1) complex cognitive rule based models of the interaction situation with which actors understand and analyze their situations; (2) value complex(es) with which actors operate, often with multiple values and norms applying in interaction situations; (3) action repertoires (rule complexes) with simple and complex action alternatives-plans, programs, established (sometimes highly elaborated) algorithms, and rituals; (4) a rule complex of action determination modalities for actors to generate and/or select actions in game situations; three action modalities are considered here; each modality consists of one or more procedures or algorithms for action determination: (I) following or implementing a rule or rule complex, norm, role, ritual, or social relation; (II) selecting or choosing among given or institutionalized alternatives according to a rule or principle; and (III) constructing or adopting one or more alternatives according to a value, guideline, or set of criteria. Such determinations are often carried out collectively. The paper identifies and illustrates in a concluding table several of the key differences between classical theory and the sociological approaches on a number of dimensions relating to human agency; social structure, norms, institutions, and cultural forms; patterns of game interaction and outcomes, the conditions of cooperation and conflict, game restructuring and transformation, and empirical relevance. Sociologically based game theory, such as the contributions outlined in this article suggest a language and conceptual tools to more adequately and effectively than the classical theory describe, model, and analyze the diversity, complexity, and dynamics of human interaction conditions and processes and, therefore, promises greater empirical relevance and scientific power. An Appendix provides an elaboration of SGT, concluding that one of SGT's major contributions is the rule based conceptualization of g...

A control strategy is derived for fractional-order dynamic systems with Caputo derivative to guarantee collision-free trajectories for two agents. To guarantee that one agent keeps the state of the system out of a given set regardless of the other agent’s actions a Lyapunov-based approach is adopted. As a special case showing that the given approach to choosing proposed strategy is constructive for a fractional-order system with the Caputo derivative, a linear system as an example is discussed. Obtained results extend to the fractional order case the avoidance problem Leitman’s and Skowronski’s approach.
