Running head: INDEX OF FLOCKING BEHAVIOR An index for quantifying flocking behavior
One of the classic research topics in adaptive behavior is the collective displacement of groups of organisms such as flocks of birds, schools of fish, herds of mammals and crowds of people. However, most agent-based simulations of group behavior do not provide a quantitative index for determining the point at which the flock emerges. We have developed an index of the aggregation of moving indi...
متن کاملFlocking Behavior
Flocking is the phenomenon in which self-propelled individuals, using only limited environmental information and simple rules, organize into an ordered motion. This ordering even occurs at two dimensions where ordering is not possible equilibrium systems. This paper will explain the biological and physical motivation for studying flocking, and the computational, theoretical, and experimental ef...
متن کاملSwarm Intelligence and Flocking Behavior
Swarm behavior suggests simple methodologies used by agents of swarm to solve complex problems, which using the other optimsation algorithms such as Genetic Algorithms may not be possible to solve. The basic reason behind this is the group behavior in these algorithms. The distributed control mechanism and simple interactive rules can manage the swarm efficiently and effectively. Flocking behav...
متن کاملNew Index for Quantifying an Individual's Scientific Research Output
Classifying researchers according to the quality of their published work rather than the quantity is a curtail issue. We attempt to introduce a new formula of the percentage range to be used for evaluating qualitatively the researchers' production. The suggested equation depends on the number of the singleauthor published papers and their citations to be added as a new factor to the known h-ind...
متن کاملAn index for quantifying deviations from normal gait.
A method is derived to calculate the amount by which a subject's gait deviates from an average normal profile, and to represent this deviation as a single number. The method uses principal component analysis to derive a set of 16 independent variables from 16 selected gait variables. The sum of the square of these 16 independent variables is interpreted as the deviation of the subject's gait fr...
