Percolation, Pretopology and Complex Systems Modeling

چکیده
A complex system is generally regarded as being a network of elements in mutual interactions, which total behavior cannot be deduced from that of its parts and their properties. Thus, the study of a complex phenomenon requires a holistic approach considering the system in its totality. The aim of our approach is the design of a unifying theoretical framework to define complex systems according to their common properties and to tackle their modeling by generalizing percolation processes using pretopology theory. keywords: Complex systems ; percolation ; pretopology; modeling; stochastic optimization.

Pollution Modeling and Simulation with Multi-Agent and Pretopology
Pollution in metropolitan cities has become a serious problem, resulting in poor living conditions and serious health problems. Pollution being qualified as a complex system, we propose a multi-agent approach to model and simulate it, so that we could study, analyze and predict it better. As in the early stage of the project, we have some successful experiments and attempts to integrate the mat...
متن کاملData Structures and Algorithms for Pretopology: the Java-based Software Library PretopoLib
PretopoLib is a library of data types and algorithms based on pretopology theory. Its interest is its data structures representing mathematical sets and all the operations related to them. The main features of the library are a clear separation of computation and visualization, efficient sets data types, and its ease of use to build model or application prototypes in the complex systems simulat...
متن کاملModeling Groups In Social Networks
Studies in social network analysis consider the behavior of a group to be equivalent to the “sum” of individual behaviors. However, a group has to be considered as a complex system where emerging phenomena can appear. In this paper, a formalism is proposed to resolve this problematic by modeling groups in social networks using pretopology as a generalization of the graph theory. We also give an...
متن کاملOptimizing Mobile Networks Connectivity and Routing Using Percolation Theory and Epidemic Algorithms
Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) are complex systems presenting a phase transition phenomenon : an abrupt change in the behavior of the network around a critical value of a certain key parameter. The reliability and connectivity of MANETs depend on their size and on the efficiency of the routing protocol. In this paper we propose a new approach in MANETs modeling, combining percolation theory an...
متن کاملModeling the Complex Dynamics of Distributed Communities of the Web with Pretopology
The aim of this article is to present a methodological approach for problems encountered in structural analysis of web communities. This approach is based upon the pretopological concepts of pseudoclosure and the searching of equivalent nodes. The advantage of this approach is that it provides a framework needed to pass through the actual limits of graph theory modeling. The problem of modeling...
