Human group formation in online guilds and offline gangs driven by a common team dynamic.
Quantifying human group dynamics represents a unique challenge. Unlike animals and other biological systems, humans form groups in both real (offline) and virtual (online) spaces-from potentially dangerous street gangs populated mostly by disaffected male youths to the massive global guilds in online role-playing games for which membership currently exceeds tens of millions of people from all p...
متن کاملGuild Play in MMOGs: Rethinking Common Group Dynamics Models
Humans form groups and congregate into groups for a variety of reasons and in a variety of contexts e.g., corporations in offline space and guilds in Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs). In recent years a number of models of group formation have been proposed. One such model is Johnson et al’s [10] model of group evolution. The model is motivated by commonalities observed in evolution of...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of a Multi Agent System for Crisis Management by a Model Driven Approach
Considering the increasing occurrences of unexpected events and the need for pre-crisis planning in order to reduce risks and losses, modeling instant response environments is needed more than ever. Modeling may lead to more careful planning for crisis-response operations, such as team formation, task assignment, and doing the task by teams. A common challenge in this way is that the model shou...
متن کاملSocial capital in World of Warcraft guilds: Construction and evaluation of a path model
The aim of the present study was to find underlying factors of social capital acquisition in online gaming communities (guilds). 391 players of World of Warcraft were asked about their playing habits, their behavior towards fellow players and the bridging and bonding social capital they received by playing. Path analysis revealed five underlying factors of social capital formation in guilds. Ou...
متن کاملA Solution to the Problem of Extrapolation in Car Following Modeling Using an online fuzzy Neural Network
Car following process is time-varying in essence, due to the involvement of human actions. This paper develops an adaptive technique for car following modeling in a traffic flow. The proposed technique includes an online fuzzy neural network (OFNN) which is able to adapt its rule-consequent parameters to the time-varying processes. The proposed OFNN is first trained by an growing binary tree le...
