Relation Formation by Medium Properties: A Multiagent Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the effect communications by mobile phone have on the process of building relations of individuals, and discuss the impact such communications have on interpersonal relationships among individuals in a network society. Our research results indicate that a network society is significantly affected when mobile communication becomes widespread within that society. In the field of management, the value of having an online community for purposes of management is becoming ever higher, but, to our knowledge, no descriptions have yet been made about what features of communication fundamentals affect (1) the process of building relations of individuals in a network, and (2) the characteristics of the relations. This paper describes our use of simulation with a multiagent model to ascertain how various communication fundamentals generate and change interpersonal relationships among individuals in a group.

A Multiagent Reinforcement Learning algorithm to solve the Community Detection Problem
Community detection is a challenging optimization problem that consists of searching for communities that belong to a network under the assumption that the nodes of the same community share properties that enable the detection of new characteristics or functional relationships in the network. Although there are many algorithms developed for community detection, most of them are unsuitable when ...
متن کاملThe merger history of clusters and its effect on the X-ray properties of the intracluster medium
We investigate the growth over time of 20 massive (>3 keV) clusters in a hydrodynamical simulation of the cold dark matter cosmology with radiative cooling. The clusters show a variety of formation histories: some accrete most of their mass in major mergers; others, more gradually. During major mergers, the long-term (temporally smoothed) luminosity increases such that the cluster moves approxi...
متن کاملOn the Simulation of Multiagent-Based Regulators for Physiological Processes
The multiagent approach allows to effectively address and manage the complex regulation of physiological processes. In this paper we argue why multiagent regulating systems need to be simulated in order to assess the properties of interest. In particular, we consider a multiagent regulator of the glucose-insulin metabolism and we show how the effectiveness of its control activity and other sali...
