Flocking Behaviour: Agent-Based Simulation and Hierarchical Leadership

Abstract: We have studied how leaders emerge in a group as a consequence of interactions among its members. We propose that leaders can emerge as a consequence of a self-organized process based on local rules of dyadic interactions among individuals. Flocks are an example of self-organized behaviour in a group and properties similar to those observed in flocks might also explain some of the dynamics and organization of human groups. We developed an agent-based model that generated flocks in a virtual world and implement… Show more

“…Usually, coordinated motion can be seen on the computer screen after several hundreds of time steps. The rules are similar but not identical to those in Huth & Wissel's shoaling and schooling model [29]; for details about MovAgent, see [20,9]. Like Huth & Wissel's model, the graphical display of the simulated motion is perceived to be similar to that of real fish.…”

“…In addition, the data used to test both STAP and human observers should be obtained from dynamics of real shoals. Although the data obtained using our MovAgent simulation program is useful for testing shoal detection methods (see [9,20]), empirical validity based on real shoal data should also be of concern.…”

“…Furthermore, as Quera et al [33] have noted, there is no simple index applicable to flocking in agent-based modeling that includes the range of factors describing the degree of flocking behavior. The authors also mention that flockdetection is normally carried out merely by observing the changes in the agents' locations over time on the computer screen.…”

“…Agents can be used to model the behaviors of swarm individuals by rewarding or penalizing their attempted approaches and movements and it has proved to be a new powerful way to study the emergency of swarm behavior (Quera et al, 2010).…”
