The surprising little effectiveness of cooperative algorithms in parallel problem solving
Sandro M. Reia, Larissa F. Aquino, José F. Fontanari
Biological and cultural inspired optimization algorithms are nowadays part of the basic toolkit of a great many research domains. By mimicking processes in nature and animal societ…
Policies for allocation of information in task-oriented groups: elitism and egalitarianism outperform welfarism
Sandro M. Reia, Paulo F. Gomes, José F. Fontanari
Communication or influence networks are probably the most controllable of all factors that are known to impact on the problem-solving capability of task-forces. In the case connect…
Individual decision making in task-oriented groups
Sandro M. Reia, Paulo F. Gomes, José F. Fontanari
The strategies adopted by individuals to select relevant information to pass on are central to understanding problem solving by groups. Here we use agent-based simulations to revis…
Agent-based models of collective intelligence
Sandro M. Reia, André C. Amado, José F. Fontanari
Collective or group intelligence is manifested in the fact that a team of cooperating agents can solve problems more efficiently than when those agents work in isolation. Although…
