Analytical and Numerical Investigation of Ant Behavior Under Crowded Conditions (2008)

Peters, Karsten, Johansson, Anders, Dussutour, Audrey, Helbing, Dirk

Swarm intelligence is widely recognized as a powerful paradigm of self-organized optimization, with numerous examples of successful applications in distributed artificial intelligence. However, the...

Comorbidity of alcohol and substance dependence with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (2008)

Ohlmeier, Martin D., Peters, Karsten, Wildt, Bert T. Te, Zedler, Markus, Ziegenbein, Marc, Wiese, Birgitt, ...

Aims: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is of great clinical importance not only because of its high prevalence but also due to the frequent comorbid illnesses that are connected with...

Nicotine and alcohol dependence in patients with comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (2007)

Ohlmeier, Martin D., Peters, Karsten, Kordon, Andreas, Seifert, Jürgen, Wildt, Bert Te, Wiese, Birgitt, ...

Aims: Several studies have shown that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) represents a significant risk factor for the onset and development of an addiction. Thirty-five per cent of adult...

Dynamic Effects Increasing Network Vulnerability to Cascading Failures (2007)

Simonsen, Ingve, Buzna, Lubos, Peters, Karsten, Bornholdt, Stefan, Helbing, Dirk

We study cascading failures in networks using a dynamical flow model based on simple conservation and distribution laws to investigate the impact of transient dynamics caused by the rebalancing of...

Efficient Response to Cascading Disaster Spreading (2006)

Buzna, Lubos, Peters, Karsten, Ammoser, Hendrik, Kuehnert, Christian, Helbing, Dirk

We study the effectiveness of recovery strategies for a dynamic model of failure spreading in networks. These strategies control the distribution of resources based on information about the current...

Decentralised control of material or traffic flows in networks using phase-synchronisation (2006)

Lämmer, Stefan, Kori, Hiroshi, Peters, Karsten, Helbing, Dirk

We present a self-organising, decentralised control method for material flows in networks. The concept applies to networks where time sharing mechanisms between conflicting flows in nodes are...

Lämmer, Stefan, Kori, Hiroshi, Peters, Karsten, Helbing, Dirk

We present a self-organising, decentralised control method for material flows in networks. The concept applies to networks where time sharing mechanisms between conflicting flows in nodes are...

Hybrid systems modeling manufacturing and front dynamics (2003)

Peters, Karsten

This thesis investigates the dynamics of a certain class of hybrid dynamical systems, so called switched tank systems. By applying switched tank systems as models for manufacturing systems and front...
