We review theoretical models of individual motility as well as collective dynamics and
pattern formation of active particles. We focus on simple models of active dynamics with a …

We review the observations and the basic laws describing the essential aspects of collective
motion—being one of the most common and spectacular manifestation of coordinated …

This paper proposes a new meta-heuristic algorithm called Pathfinder Algorithm (PFA) to
solve optimization problems with different structure. This method is inspired by collective …

Social organisation in animals takes many forms. It includes assemblages of territorial
animals, dominance hierarchies and social groups, among other things. The basic tenet that …

Determining individual-level interactions that govern highly coordinated motion in animal
groups or cellular aggregates has been a long-standing challenge, central to understanding …

Flocking is a typical example of emergent collective behavior, where interactions between
individuals produce collective patterns on the large scale. Here we show how a quantitative …

Flocking behaviour is often presented as an example of a self-organized process, where
individuals continuously negotiate on the direction of travel and compromise by moving …

Spontaneous collective motion, as in some flocks of bird and schools of fish, is an example
of an emergent phenomenon. Such phenomena are at present of great interest,,,, and …

We have produced computational simulations of multi-agent systems in which wolf agents
chase prey agents. We show that two simple decentralized rules controlling the movement of …

Collective movement of epithelial cells drives essential multicellular organization during
various fundamental physiological processes encompassing embryonic morphogenesis …
