Mathematical models for explaining the emergence of specialization in performing tasks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an evolving community consisting of many individuals, it is often the case that the individuals tend, over time, to become more specialized in performing the tasks necessary for survival and growth of the community as a whole. In this work, linear and nonlinear mathematical models are presented for providing insights as to when and why this functional specialization emerges.

متن کاملFuzzy Random Utility Choice Models: The Case of Telecommuting Suitability
Random utility models have been widely used in many diverse fields. Considering utility as a random variable opened many new analytical doors to researchers in explaining behavioral phenomena. Introducing and incorporating the random error term into the utility function had several reasons, including accounting for unobserved variables. This paper incorporates fuzziness into random utility mode...
متن کاملWASPS: A weight-allocated social pressure System for the emergence of agent specialization
Division of labour, or specialization, is common in many types of insect colonies. It emerges in some of these societies as a result of age polyethism, whereby the division of labour is tied to the age of the individuals. One known method that explains this is social inhibition. Individuals release pheromones when they interact with other agents. The strength of their pheromones is tied to thei...
