Identifying density-dependent interactions in collective cell behaviour

Identifying User Behaviour Between Logged Interactions

Log analyses are often used simply to quantify interactions with different aspects of a user interface. The position held here is that much of a user’s search experience does not involve direct interaction with the interface, and may not be logged at all. Many models highlight the cognitive aspects of searching behaviour, and many consider that if a user does not like a user interface, then the...

Eco-evolutionary dynamics, density-dependent dispersal and collective behaviour: implications for salmon metapopulation robustness

The spatial dispersal of individuals plays an important role in the dynamics of populations, and is central to metapopulation theory. Dispersal provides connections within metapopulations, promoting demographic and evolutionary rescue, but may also introduce maladapted individuals, potentially lowering the fitness of recipient populations through introgression of heritable traits. To explore th...

From Interactions to Collective Behaviour in Agent-based Systems

In this paper, we present the MAGMA approach to multi-agent systems, including a proposal of an integrative environment based upon the decomposition between agents, environments, interactions, and organisations. We then focus on the MAGMA work done for cognitive agents, and we detail the interactions between such agents. We propose an Interaction Language associated with Interaction Protocols. ...

Cellular Automaton Models for Collective Cell Behaviour

Reading between the lines: identifying user behaviour between logged interactions

Log analyses are often used simply to quantify interactions with different aspects of a user interface. The position held here is that much of a user’s search experience does not involve direct interaction with the interface, and may not be logged at all. Many models highlight the cognitive aspects of searching behaviour, and many consider that if a user does not like a user interface, then the...
