The paradox of intervention: Resilience in adaptive multirole coordination networks Open
Complex adaptive networks exhibit remarkable resilience, driven by the dynamic interplay of structure (interactions) and function (state). While static-network analyses offer valuable insights, understanding how structure and function coev…
The effects of mismatched train and test data cleaning pipelines on regression models: lessons for practice Open
Data quality problems are present in all real-world, large-scale datasets. Each of these potential problems can be addressed in multiple ways through data cleaning. However, there is no single best data cleaning approach that always produc…
The Role of Feedback Loops in Dynamical Symptom Networks Open
Feedback loops are central to the dynamics of mental disorder symptoms, serving as mechanisms that sustain and amplify symptoms over time. Despite their importance, the influence of feedback loop structures on symptom progression and persi…
The Paradox of Intervention: Resilience in Adaptive Multi-Role Coordination Networks Open
Complex adaptive networks exhibit remarkable resilience, driven by the dynamic interplay of structure (interactions) and function (state). While static-network analyses offer valuable insights, understanding how structure and function co-e…
Dynamics in and dynamics of networks using DyNSimF Open
Advances in formal theories, network science, and data collection technologies make complex-agent networks and adaptive networks increasingly powerful tools in the fields' of complexity science and computational social science. We present …
A data-driven agent-based model of primary school segregation in Amsterdam Open
Theoretical agent-based models of residential and school choice have shown that substantial segregation can emerge as an (unintended) consequence of interactions between individual households and feedback mechanisms, despite households bei…
Criminal organizations exhibit hysteresis, resilience, and robustness by balancing security and efficiency Open
The interplay between (criminal) organizations and (law enforcement) disruption strategies is critical in criminology and social network analysis. Like legitimate businesses, criminal enterprises thrive by fulfilling specific demands and n…
Criminal organizations exhibit hysteresis, resilience, and robustness by balancing security and efficiency Open
The interplay between criminal organizations and law enforcement disruption strategies is crucial in criminology. Criminal enterprises, like legitimate businesses, balance visibility and security to thrive. This study uses evolutionary gam…

Characterizing pedestrian contact interaction trajectories to understand spreading risk in human crowds Open
A spreading process can be observed when particular information, substances, or diseases spread through a population over time in social and biological systems. It is widely believed that contact interactions among individual entities play…
Alcohol consumption as a socially contagious phenomenon in the Framingham Heart Study social network Open
We use longitudinal social network data from the Framingham Heart Study to examine the extent to which alcohol consumption is influenced by the network structure. We assess the spread of alcohol use in a three-state SIS-type model, classif…
Digital Twin Earth. Lorentz Center @Oort workshop report, 13-16 February 2023 Open
Workshop report of Lorentz Center Workshop Digital Twin Earth, 16-23 February, Leiden.
The dynamics of corruption under an optional external supervision service Open
External supervision services play an important role in combating corruption by detecting potential collusive bribery. This work aims at studying the dynamics of collusive bribery when participants have the option of engaging the external …
An approach for analysing the impact of data integration on complex network diffusion models Open
Complex networks are a powerful way to reason about systems with non-trivial patterns of interaction. The increased attention in this research area is accelerated by the increasing availability of complex network data sets, with data often…
Costly incentives design from an institutional perspective: cooperation, sustainability and affluence Open
Incentives are usually introduced by the regulator entity (third-party), to promote cooperation in a market. The implementation of incentives is always costly and thus might fail to be enforced sustainably. This work aims at exploring the …
Understanding Complexity in Charging Infrastructure through the Lens of Social Supply–Demand Systems Open
Since the first release of modern electric vehicles, researchers and policy makers have shown interest in the deployment and utilization of charging infrastructure. Despite the sheer volume of literature, limited attention has been paid to…

Influence of committed volunteers on helping behavior in emergency evacuations Open
We study how the presence of committed volunteers influences the collective helping behavior in emergency evacuation scenarios. In this study, committed volunteers do not change their decision to help injured persons, implying that other e…
A review of mathematical modeling of addiction regarding both (neuro-) psychological processes and the social contagion perspectives Open
Addiction is a complex biopsychosocial phenomenon, impacted by biological predispositions, psychological processes, and the social environment. Using mathematical and computational models that allow for surrogative reasoning may be a promi…

A Model-based Analysis of Evacuation Strategies in Hospital Emergency Departments Open
Evacuation planning for emergency incidents is an essential preparedness for Emergency Departments (ED) which normally contains patients with severe illness and limited mobility. However, the preparedness can be challenging due to a lack o…
