Abstract

This paper and an accompanying
paper (McNamara et al., 2018) revisit the Distributed Predictive Control
(DMPC) literature and seek to establish links with the social
behaviour, focusing in particular on ways in which DMPC could be used to
provide insights into the mechanisms of group regulation in social
systems. It will be noted that there are major differences between the
way in which DMPC algorithms and Social Human Participants (SHPs) form
their respective decisions.Whereas in a first
paper (McNamara et al., 2018) we concentrated on the dynamics of the
cooperation and the weightings in the agents’ decision, the present
paper extends the discussion to the arrangements in the group of
decision makers. This paper concludes with some caveats as regards
further analyses of social system using the methods proposed in these
two papers.
