Abstract:This study investigates the use of interactions as a metric to detect emergent phenomena in the ongoing agent-based simulations. The proposed algorithm aims to detect the flocking behavior in the Boids model. Boids model is simple to understand and to use and always verifies emergence. In recent years, several metrics have been proposed to investigate emergent behaviors in complex systems. Two main limitations of these studies are, how to choose a proper metric to avoid a high coast of computation, and how to … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
