This book provides a comprehensive overview on emergent bursty
patterns in the dynamics of human behaviour. It presents common and
alternative understanding of the investigated phenomena, and points
out open questions worthy of further investigations. The book is
structured as follows. In the introduction the authors discuss the
motivation of the field, describe bursty phenomena in case of human
behaviour, and relate it to other disciplines. The second chapter
addresses the measures commonly used to characterise heterogeneous
signals, bursty human dynamics, temporal paths, and correlated
behaviour. These definitions are first introduced to set the basis
for the discussion of the third chapter about the observations of
bursty human patterns in the dynamics of individuals, dyadic
interactions, and collective behaviour. The subsequent fourth
chapter discusses the models of bursty human dynamics. Various
mechanisms have been proposed about the source of the
heterogeneities in human dynamics, which leads to the introduction
of conceptually different modelling approaches. The authors address
all of these perspectives objectively, highlight their strengths
and shortcomings, and mention possible extensions to them. The
fifth chapter addresses the effect of individual heterogeneous
behaviour on collective dynamics. This question in particular has
been investigated in various systems including spreading phenomena,
random walks, and opinion formation dynamics. Here the main issues
are whether burstiness speeds up or slows down the co-evolving
processes, and how burstiness modifies time-dependent paths in the
system that determine the spreading patterns of any kind of
information or influence. Finally in the sixth chapter the authors
end the review with a discussion and future perspectives. It is an
ideal book for researchers and students who wish to enter the field
of bursty human dynamics or want to expand their knowledge on such
phenomena.
