In today’s world, you probably belong to a variety of social networks, like your school friends, family, sports teams, and online communities, where each interaction can be likened to playing a "game" with specific rules and rewards. For instance, you might interact differently with classmates than you do with family members.

Novel algorithms allows real-time monitoring and dynamic task allocation to significantly improve cooperation among autonomous robots

Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore devise a computational model to study how cooperation evolves in natural systems - from cells to large mammals. The study finds mobility, which was largely ignored before, plays a key role in the evolution of cooperation. Understanding mobility of cells in a medium could help us understand better the spread of cancer.
