Particle Swarm Social Model for Group Social Learning in Adaptive Environment

  • Conference paper
Book cover Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, and Prediction

Abstract

This report presents a study of integrating particle swarm algorithm, social knowledge adaptation and multi-agent approaches for modeling the social learning of self-organized groups and their collective searching behavior in an adaptive environment. The objective of this research is to apply the particle swarm metaphor as a model of social learning for a dynamic environment. The research provides a platform for understanding and insights into knowledge discovery and strategic search in human self-organized social groups, such as human communities.
