Interaction and Collective Movement Processing: Report from Dagstuhl Seminar 14132

Abstract

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 14132 “Interaction and Collective Movement Processing”. This seminar brought together a group of 30 scientists with varied backgrounds, but with a shared interest in computations involved in the processing of moving entity data, like humans or animals. The seminar focused on characterizing and modelling interaction between moving entities, and featured four invited talks in four main research fields: ecology, computational geometry, GIScience, and collective motion. The remainder of the program consisted of short presentations, open problem sessions, break-out groups to work on open problems, and reporting sessions based on research done in the break-out groups.
