DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Maryam Zamani\nhosted by Gasper Tkacik\nAbstract: The 
 question of why and how animal and human groups form temporarily stable hi
 erarchical organizations has long been a great challenge from the point of
  quantitative interpretations. The prevailing observation/consensus is tha
 t a hierarchical social or technological structure is optimal considering 
 a variety of aspects. In my talk\, I will introduce a simple quantitative 
 interpretation of this situation using a statistical mechanics-type approa
 ch. We defined an efficiency function for a typical organization/system wh
 ich is constructed from interacting individual units with a variety of abi
 lities ai (level of the potential contribution of a unit to the performanc
 e of the whole system)\, and developed an approach to address the question
  of the spontaneous emergence of hierarchical networks displaying behaviou
 rs analogous to those of glasses
