Dynamical Modeling of Collective Behavior from Pigeon Flight Data: Flock Cohesion and Dispersion

Dynamical Modeling of Collective Behavior from Pigeon Flight Data: Flock Cohesion and Dispersion | Papers | Scoop.it
From www.ploscompbiol.org - March 30, 2012 3:02 PM

(…) we provide a method to build models of collective dynamics from homing pigeon flight data. We show that our models follow the source dynamics well, and from them we are able to infer that significant collective behavior occurs in pigeon flights. Our results are consistent with the basic principles of previous hypotheses and models that have been proposed. Our approach serves as an initial outline towards the usage of experimental data to construct computational models to understand many complex phenomena with hypothesized collective behavior.

Is the Internet Becoming the Bot Net?

Is the Internet Becoming the Bot Net? | Papers | Scoop.it
From bigthink.com - April 5, 2012 11:59 PM

"On the Internet, we’ve reached a tipping point where more than 50% of all Internet traffic is no longer generated by humans – instead, it's generated by a motley mix of search engine spiders, bots, scrapers, scammers, hackers and, yes, spies. We are no longer talking about the Internet, we are talking about the Bot Net – a “bot-mediated reality” where algorithms and bots influence where we go, how long we spend there and with whom we communicate."

 

This great pick by Sakis Koukouvis goes on to list impressive facts on how the Internet is being controlled by robots. 

 

Time to put Human Curation back into the game?
