Browning [as printed] agents and active particles : collective dynamics in the natural and social sciences /

Lays out a vision for a coherent framework for understanding complex systems. By developing the idea of Brownian agents, this work combines concepts from informatics, such as multiagent systems, with approaches of statistical many-particle physics. It also shows that Brownian agent models can be suc...
