Advanced self-organisation of social systems

WMBY017-05

Processes of selforganisation occur at all levels of a system. For instance, in a group of individuals they take place at the level of
the cognition of the individual, of its behaviour and of the behaviour of the group. Selforganisation implies that cognitively simple
rules at the level of the individual (the so-called micro-level) may lead to complex behaviour at a higher level (the macro-level). The
emergence of patterns in a computer model often leads to unexpected new insights. Note that, the other way around, by observing
the complex behaviour at a higher level, it is impossible to discover the behavioural rules that operate at a lower level. In this
course models of selforganisation of the social phenomena will be treated, such as: swarming by fish and birds, with and without
attacks by predators; grouping and foraging behaviour by social insects and primates; nest building by insects, task division in insects; social learning and behaviour of fish and corvids; social structure (despotic and egalitarian), and cultural transmission in primates and humans.
Individual-based models will be discussed and taught.
The practical work closely follows the contents of the daily lectures. Students will use Excel-spreadsheets and the program Netlogo.
In the last part of the course, students work on a modeling project of their own or in pairs. They can work out their own ideas or choose from the projects that are offered. The work is to be rounded off with a presentation.
