Complex Network Modeling for Maritime Search and Rescue Operations
Procedia Computer Science, 2014 AbstractThis paper introduces a complex network model for collective behavior of floating drifters at sea. Direct simulat ion method for floating objects on irregular waves is used to express the network dynamics. The features of co llect ive behavior (such as the network destruction) are considered.
