Modelling Global Pattern Formations for Collaborative Learning Environments

We present our research towards the design of a
computational framework capable of modelling the formation
and evolution of global patterns (i.e. group structures) in a
population of social individuals. The framework is intended to
be used in collaborative environments, e.g. social serious games
and computer simulations of artificial societies. The theoretical
basis of our research, together with current state of the art and
future work, are briefly introduced.
