title = "Forming coalitions and facilitating relationships for completing tasks in social networks",
abstract = "We consider the problem of computing effective coalition structures in situations where the coalitions that can be formed and the value of these coalitions is determined by a social network, indicating the strength of relationships between agents. We assume that a central organizer desires to build coalition structures to carry out a given set of tasks, and that it is possible for this central organizer to create new relationships between agents, although such relationship-building is assumed to incur some cost. Within this model, we investigate the problem of computing coalition structures that maximize social welfare, and the problem of computing core-stable coalition structures. In addition to giving some general results on these problems, we identify tractable instances of the problems, and present algorithms for these cases.",
