How social information can improve estimation accuracy in human groups

Bertrand Jayles, Hye-rin Kim, Ramón Escobedo +5

In our digital and connected societies, the development of social networks, online shopping, and reputation systems raises the question of how individuals use social information, a…

Traffic Instabilities in Self-Organized Pedestrian Crowds

Mehdi Moussaid, Elsa G. Guillot, Mathieu Moreau +7

In human crowds as well as in many animal societies, local interactions among individuals often give rise to self-organized collective organizations that offer functional benefits…

How simple rules determine pedestrian behavior and crowd disasters

Mehdi Moussaid, Dirk Helbing, Guy Theraulaz

With the increasing size and frequency of mass events, the study of crowd disasters and the simulation of pedestrian flows have become important research areas. Yet, even successfu…

Collective Information Processing and Pattern Formation in swarms, flocks and crowds

Mehdi Moussaid, Simon Garnier, Guy Theraulaz +1

The spontaneous organization of collective activities in animal groups and societies has attracted a considerable amount of attention over the last decade. This kind of coordinatio…

The walking behaviour of pedestrian social groups and its impact on crowd dynamics

Mehdi Moussaid, Niriaska Perozo, Simon Garnier +2

Human crowd motion is mainly driven by self-organized processes based on local interactions among pedestrians. While most studies of crowd behavior consider only interactions among…

Experimental study of the behavioural mechanisms underlying self-organization in human crowds

Mehdi Moussaid, Dirk Helbing, Simon Garnier +3

In animal societies as well as in human crowds, many observed collective behaviours result from self-organized processes based on local interactions among individuals. However, mod…

Fat tails, long memory, maturity and ageing in open-source software projects

Damien Challet, Sergi Valverde

We report activity data analysis on several open source software projects, focusing on time between modifications and on the number of files modified at once. Both have fat-tailed…
