A video said to have been leaked from a recent recruiting session in the largely Shiite village of Nabl in the northern province of Aleppo, for example, showed a crowd of recruits praising Hussein, a central figure in Shiism, and the recruiter promising, "We will fight under the banner of Hussein".
Mr Adams, for example, guards a crowd of Hawaiians and is expecting an influx of Californians soon.
We discuss the interplay between algorithmic paradigms and human abilities,and illustrate through examples how members of a crowd can play diverse roles in an organized problem-solving process, serving not only as "data oracles" at the endpoints of computation, but also as modules for decomposing problems, controlling the algorithmic progression, and performing human program synthesis.
A common example of this crowd response is a financial market or the housing market where the spontaneous formation of a crowd of people who wish to sell and hence effectively competing for buyers can lead to a market crash in which the price falls dramatically in a short time.
UNESCO's most recent atlas offers an online, interactive interface that allows users to contribute comments and suggest amendments, an example of effective crowd cataloging.
This is an example of where crowd sourced quality improvement works quite well, because no contextual expertise is required to identify both the mistake and the correct answer, and indeed the data may well have been corrected by the time this manuscript is published.
It was the latest example of a seeming obsession with crowd size.
"So the management of that is a small example of the crowd issues that we may have to deal with".
This work shows on the example of crowd density that a participatory sensing approach can give insight into crowd characteristics and provide information relevant to assess the criticality of a situation during city-scale mass gatherings.
Another feature will be the constant focus on connecting activites to performances; Mr. Shigematsu used the example of a baseball game, where the crowd is paying attention but also engaged in other activities, like drinking.
