Download or read book Brownian Agents and Active Particles written by Frank Schweitzer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-06-13 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book lays out a vision for a coherent framework for understanding complex systems. By developing the genuine idea of Brownian agents, the author combines concepts from informatics, such as multiagent systems, with approaches of statistical many-particle physics. It demonstrates that Brownian agent models can be successfully applied in many different contexts, ranging from physicochemical pattern formation to swarming in biological systems.
