Our paper to be published in Physica A

A couple of quick updates.

Our paper: Trenchard, H.. Richardson, A., Ratamero, E., Perc, M. "Collective behavior and the identification of phases in bicycle pelotons" will be published in a physics journal called Physica A.

We're not sure yet in what issue the will be included, but I am anticipating a summer issue, possibly as early as June. 

I will also be attending the MIT Collective Intelligence conference in Boston, June 10-12, where I will present an overview of this paper.

I will likely make a submission to a conference in workshop in Vancouver Evolutionary computation (EC) and multi-agent systems and simulation (MASS), which is part of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2014). This would be a simple demonstration of our positional-change method using Netlogo.

It looks like I can acquire some continuous overhead footage of Stage 5 of the Volta Algarve. I am hopeful that footage will be good enough to make further publishable findings.
