Abstract Cities are important urban productive systems whose main goal could be considered the supply of innovation to generate economic growth. However, as well as all social organization managed by scale economies, cities eventually tend to reduce or even …
Abstract We present a biologically plausible dynamics model to simulate swarms of flying insects. Our formulation, which is based on biological conclusions and experimental observations, is designed to simulate large insect swarms of varying densities. We use a …
Abstract This paper reports the existence of the negative effect of leadership on the collective motion of biological particles and shows that the effect of leadership may transit from positive to negative with the change in the sensing capability of the particles. …
Abstract: Deliberation is described as an exchange and mutual evaluation of validity claims to bring about a common solution to a problem or a conflict. Thus, according to one crucial aspect of deliberation, negotiation partners argue about the same topics, rather than each …
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel bio-inspired approach to assign operational resources (OR’s) like machines, workstations and departments within factory layouts. We investigated the structures and growth processes of the nautilus shell (Nautilus …
Abstract: When two pedestrians travelling in opposite directions approach one another, each must decide on which side (the left or the right) they will attempt to pass. If both make the same choice then passing can be completed with ease, while if they make opposite …
Abstract: Exploiting the information about members of a Social Network (SN) represents one of the most attractive and dwelling subjects for both academic and applied scientists. The community of Complexity Science and especially those researchers working on multiplex …
Abstract—We present an agent-based approach to animate mi-croscopic mixed traffic involving cars and motorcycles in complex scenarios, including signalized and nonsignalized road intersections, and traffic jams due to blockage. Based on our new car- …
To ensure cooperation in the Prisoner’s Dilemma, individuals may require prior commitments from others, subject to compensations when agreements to cooperate are violated. Alternatively, individuals may prefer to behave reactively, without arranging prior …
Abstract—This paper proposes a novel approach for simulat-ing pedestrian movement behavior based on artificial intelligence technology. Within this approach, a large volume of microscopic pedestrian movement behavior types were collected and encapsulated into …
