  Interpersonal ties are pivotal to individual efficacy, status and performance
in an agent society. This paper explores three important and interrelated
themes in social network theory: the center/periphery partition of the network;
network dynamics; and social integration of newcomers. We tackle the question:
How would a newcomer harness information brokerage to integrate into a dynamic
network going from periphery to center? We model integration as the interplay
between the newcomer and the dynamics network and capture information brokerage
using a process of relationship building. We analyze theoretical guarantees for
the newcomer to reach the center through tactics; proving that a winning tactic
always exists for certain types of network dynamics. We then propose three
tactics and show their superior performance over alternative methods on four
real-world datasets and four network models. In general, our tactics place the
newcomer to the center by adding very few new edges on dynamic networks with
approximately 14000 nodes.
