Collective Decision-Making Based on Individual Discrimination Capability in Pre-social Insects
Gregarious insects, like cockroaches, aggregate in shelters during their resting period. How do individuals reach a collegial decision? What is the relation between the distributions of the individuals and the parameter values characterizing the population and the environment? With a model based on experimental data, we demonstrated that the collegial decision is based on the relation between t...
متن کاملInfocosm: Towards Collective Decision Making in Mobile Social Networks
As Internet based services and mobile computing become ubiquitous, society becomes increasingly reliant on these communication media to accomplish critical and time-sensitive tasks such as information dissemination and collaborative decision-making. The dependence on these media magnifies the damage caused from their disruption, whether by malicious intent or natural disaster. For instance, in ...
متن کاملIndividual versus collective cognition in social insects
The concerted responses of eusocial insects to environmental stimuli are often referred to as collective cognition at the level of the colony. To achieve collective cognition, a group can draw on two different sources: individual cognition and the connectivity between individuals. Computation in neural networks, for example, is attributed more to sophisticated communication schemes than to the ...
متن کاملComposite collective decision-making.
Individual animals are adept at making decisions and have cognitive abilities, such as memory, which allow them to hone their decisions. Social animals can also share information. This allows social animals to make adaptive group-level decisions. Both individual and collective decision-making systems also have drawbacks and limitations, and while both are well studied, the interaction between t...
متن کاملCollective decision-making in microbes
Microbes are intensely social organisms that routinely cooperate and coordinate their activities to express elaborate population level phenotypes. Such coordination requires a process of collective decision-making, in which individuals detect and collate information not only from their physical environment, but also from their social environment, in order to arrive at an appropriately calibrate...
