On following behaviour as a mechanism for collective movement.
During collective movement, animals display a wide variety of mechanisms to maintain cohesion. In some species, individuals rely mainly on following their direct predecessor, thereby forming spectacular processions of individuals in single file. Despite being the simplest case of following behaviour, it is largely absent from the theoretical literature on collective migrations. The objective of...
متن کاملHybrid modelling of individual movement and collective behaviour
Mathematical models of dispersal in biological systems are often written in terms of partial differential equations (PDEs) which describe the time evolution of population-level variables (concentrations, densities). A more detailed modelling approach is given by individual-based (agent-based) models which describe the behaviour of each organism. In recent years, an intermediate modelling method...
متن کاملBehaviour Alignment as a Mechanism for Anticipatory Agent Interaction
In this paper, we present a formalism to de ne agents' behaviours (as exhibited in agent to agent interactions), by an extension of Petri Nets, and show how behaviours of di erent agents can be aligned using speci c alignment policies. We explain why these agents are anticipatory, and the link between Business Information Systems and anticipatory systems is elaborated. A mechanism is proposed f...
متن کاملPrediction Markets as an Aggregation Mechanism for Collective Intelligence
Collective intelligence is the result of the proper aggregation of local information from many individuals to generate an optimal global solution to a problem. Often, these solutions are more optimal than what any individual could have provided. In this article, we focus on prediction markets as the aggregation mechanism for collective intelligence. Prediction markets, like commodity markets, c...
متن کاملOn fundamental cellular processes for emergence of collective epithelial movement
In all animals, collective cell movement is an essential process in many events, including wound healing and embryonic development. However, our understanding of what characterizes the emergence of multicellular collective behavior is still far from complete. In this article we showed the fundamental cellular processes that drive collective cell movement by means of integrated approaches, inclu...
