Abstract

We introduce four measures for the change of coalitions in social networks. The first one measures the change of the agents in the network over time, The second one measures the change of dependencies among the agents, due to addition or removal of powers and goals of the agents. The third one measures the change in normative dependencies like obligations and prohibitions introduced by norms. The fourth one measures changes in coalitions. If one of the first three measures is high, then the fourth measure is probably high too, if the change in agents and dependencies is a cause for a change in coalitions. If the first three measures are low, but the change in coalitions is high, it is due to internal processes like violations of the coalition agreements.
