Synchronization of an ensemble of oscillators is an emergent phenomenon present in
several complex systems, ranging from social and physical to biological and technological …

Synchronization processes in populations of locally interacting elements are the focus of
intense research in physical, biological, chemical, technological and social systems. The …

The purpose of this paper is to advance supply chain network theory by applying theoretical
and empirical developments in complex network literature to the context of supply chains as …

Based on fluid-dynamic and many-particle (car-following) simulations of traffic flows in
(urban) networks, we study the problem of coordinating incompatible traffic flows at …

We have previously shown in an abstract simulation (Gershenson in Complex Syst. 16 (1):
29–53, 2005) that selforganizing traffic lights can greatly improve traffic flow for any density …

Complex systems are usually difficult to design and control. There are several particular
methods for coping with complexity, but there is no general approach to build complex …

We present a model of synchronization in networks of autonomous agents where the
topology changes due to agents motion. We introduce two timescales, one for the …

The exponential growth of information and communication technologies have caused a
profound shift in the way humans engineer systems leading to the emergence of closed-loop …

Traffic signal control under oversaturated conditions presents a major challenge in
metropolitan transportation networks. Previous works have demonstrated the ability of back …

The slower is faster (SIF) effect occurs when a system performs worse as its components try
to do better. Thus, a moderate individual efficiency actually leads to a better systemic …
