We investigate a general cognitive model of group behaviors, based on Festinger's social comparison theory (SCT), a prominent social psychology theory. We describe two possible implementations of SCT process at an architectural level, on the basis of the Soar cognitive architecture. The first, which
The importance of truncation errors made by the computer is emphasized. A precise calculation of the bias for various algorithms of means computation leads us to the notion of optimal precision and optimal simulation length. It is proved that it is wrong to assume that the precision improves when t
Humans have become such a dominant factor on the planet that they have shaped the evolution of many organisms. In some cases, the evolutionary response of the organisms in turn has profound implications for human and environmental health. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the case of bacteria an
