The dessimination process is different from type, form of transfer, and distribution based on information or awareness.

Information dissemination processes in directed social networks

Social networks can have asymmetric relationships. In the online social network Twitter, a follower receives tweets from a followed person but the followed person is not obliged to subscribe to the channel of the follower.

My overall goal is to provide a single computational cognitive mechanism that, when executed by individual agents, would give rise to different crowd behaviors, depending on the perceptions and actions available to each individual. I propose a novel model of crowd behavior, based on Social Comparison Theory (SCT), a p...
