PI Lecture

Abstract:  The idea that animal groups can have collective memories has been raised a number of times in different contexts. The information centre hypothesis predicts that communal roosts allow for information exchange between individuals so that successful foragers, for example, can be followed by others to promising sites. A different approach to collective memory has

Collective behavior is a generic term used across many different fields and context, and thus it can refer to very different kind of collective phenomena exhibited by animal and human collectives, such as collective locomotion, collective decision making or behavioral contagion processes. In this lecture, I will try to give a classification of different types

Achieving consensus, i.e., agreeing on objectives and on relevant aspects of the environment, is a prerequisite whenever a group of individuals (“agents”) attempt to cooperatively solve a task. This requires information exchange between agents. In technical scenarios, information exchange is via wireless communication channels, which exhibit interference. Standard implementations aim at avoiding interference by resorting
