The Effect of Gossip on Social Networks
Summary: In this project we look at the effects of the spread of gossip (defined as information passed between two individuals A and B about an individual C who is not present) on social network structure.

Deconstructing CSSS09 Social Network
Summary: CSSS09 is a group of people interested in complex systems who are randomly chosen to attend the one month summer school. The international and interdisciplinary group spends four weeks together learning, discussing and working on projects related to complex systems. We are analyzing the social interaction of this network and the network change over time.

Analyzing Contagion in Heterogeneous Networks
Summary: Using the real-life data for the flu shots "contagion", and generating an agent based model, the project intends to analyze contagion in a network in which all the nodes have various levels of threshold for changing. The project intends to investigate if the thresholds are various, can that lead to new behaviors in group level? Also includes an analytical analysis and investigation of dynamics of disease spreading in view of immunity-wise classification of regions/clusters.

The Effect of Disaggregation on Infection Spreading in a social network: 'More' may not be 'Merrier'
Summary: This project analyzes the dynamics of infection spreading in the disaggregated framework of a social network using prevalence data for different countries.

Mom made me do it: Division of labor via maternal effects
Summary: We explore an alternative to cooperation for the evolution of division of labor (maternal manipulation) by means of an individual-based model.

Foraging on the Move
Summary:In this project we develop a model for organisms that forage in groups while migrating (e.g. caribou, wildebeest), to understand how individuals should balance foraging and flocking behaviors.

Approaches to Panarchy
Summary: Panarchy refers to a nested set of interacting dynamical systems, each one cycling over a hierarchy of scales in time and space. This concept provides a framework for thinking about complex systems in ecology, economics, sociology, etc. We consider novel examples and applications of panarchy.
