Science is not merely the smooth progressive interaction of hypothesis, experiment and
theory, although it sometimes has that form. More realistically the scientific study of any …

In this book the use of ER techniques for the design of self-organising group behaviours, for
both simulated and real robots is introduced. This research has a twofold value. From an …

How and why the presence of a person directly affects the perception and action of another
person is a phenomenon that has been approached in a limited and piecemeal fashion …

A major theme in the field of artificial life (ALife) is the emergence of complex behavior fl'om
the interactions of simple elements. Natural life emerges out of the organized interactions of …

The synchronization of coupled oscillators plays an important role in many biological
systems, including the heart. In heart diseases, cardiac myocytes can exhibit abnormal …

Consensus-based algorithms for distributed Kalman filtering of the state of a dynamical
target agent have attracted considerable research and attention during the past decade. In …

The earliest scientific descriptions of excessive pedestrian-induced lateral vibrations are
dated back to the 1970s, but it was not until the beginning of the new millennium that bridge …

We investigate the stability of synchronized states in delay-coupled networks where
synchronization takes place in groups of different local dynamics or in cluster states in …

While the striking structures (eg nest architecture, trail networks) of insect societies may
seem familiar to many of us, the understanding of pattern formation still constitutes a …

In this Letter, we study the exponential stochastic synchronization problem for coupled
neural networks with stochastic noise perturbations. Based on Lyapunov stability theory …
