Group Synchronization in Coordination Tasks via Network Control Methods

Connected Coordination: Network Structure and Group Coordination

Networks can affect a group’s ability to solve a coordination problem. We utilize laboratory experiments to study the conditions under which groups of subjects can solve coordination games. We investigate a variety of different network structures, and we also investigate coordination games with symmetric and asymmetric payoffs. Our results show that network connections facilitate coordination i...

Methods of Analyzing Group Tasks

^ In this report, it Is argued that description and classification of group tasks can best be approached from a theoretical rather than empirical or factor analytic perspective. It Is pointed out that p«evlous attempts at task classification generally focus on one of three aspects of the task and group situation. The literature of group task analysis dealing with each of these aspects is then r...

The Complex Network Synchronization via Chaos Control Nodes

We investigate chaos control nodes of the complex network synchronization. The structure of the coupling functions between the connected nodes is obtained based on the chaos control method and Lyapunov stability theory. Moreover a complex network with nodes of the new unified Loren-Chen-Lü system, Coullet system, Chee-Lee system, and the New system is taken as an example; numerical simulations ...

Network Support for Group Coordination

Recent advances in computer hardware and networking technology have incited the deployment of wide-area streaming media services in the Internet. While such efforts as video-on-demand are largely limited to unidirectional delivery of content to the desktop, synchronously interactive group-oriented application services are foreseeable. In such applications, users collaborate on a shared workspac...
