..., the iteration of consensus interactions is simulated using an opinion dynamics model. A case study is used to verify the feasibility of the proposed model. Findings The proposed model can predict consensus achievement based on a group’s initial trust relationship and preference information and effectively...

... and used for simulation. Data were obtained from 126 experts in the Iranian rail freight industry. Opinion dynamics theory was used for agent-based simulation of stakeholders’ behavior. The agents interacted over time and their effects on other agents’ opinions were investigated. Findings The results...

...Mohammad Hadi Aliahmadi; Ahmad Makui; Ali Bonyadi Naeini Purpose Building on the Lau and Murnighan’s theory of fault line strength, Flache and Mäs (2008b) proposed a computational opinion dynamics model to explore the effect of demographic fault line strength on team cohesion. This study aims...
