In contrast to Case A, to address the change in communication topology, the connectivity coefficients α ij for the newly connected agents update as described in (7).
For this, we suggest developing integrated policy assessment tools comprising of simulated farmer decision making, on-farm land-use and wildlife responses in the form of spatially explicit, dynamically connected agent-based models.
In particular, agents acquire different roles with respect to communication, with a core of tightly connected agents and hubs, and a large periphery.
For several loosely connected agents, a consensus algorithm makes the agents to converge to a group decision based on local information.
The community thereby becomes a network of morally connected agents, i.e., a moral community, with special, very strong ties of obligation.
Agents often form tight communities with few, if any, weak ties between them, and heterogeneity of traits and characteristics of connected agents tends to disappear with the increase of homophily [32, 33].
In this way, we find that the compatibilist strategy has sought to find an account of the causal relation that has to be "weak" enough to avoid implying compulsion and "strong" (robust) enough to connect agent and action.
For links connecting agents which are already in the same connected component we can further discuss the network distance, or path length between two agents.
The application of structural adhesives as connecting agents, especially in cases of steel concrete composites has also been discussed in detail.
The DEA has long publicly touted the SOD's role in multi-jurisdictional and international investigations, connecting agents in separate cities who may be unwittingly investigating the same target and making sure undercover agents don't accidentally try to arrest each other.
