Emergence of collective behaviors is often observed in natural and man-made many-body systems, such as aggregation of bacteria, ?ocking of birds, ?ashing of ?re?ies and herding of sheep, etc. In this talk, we aim primarily to introduce some models that explain such phenomena. We also present the recent work on local sensitivity analysis of random collective dynamics models.
