Cellular Automaton-based Controlling Simulation of Fake Information Diffusion in Public Crisis

In order to clarify the mechanism of public crisis fake information diffusion and its intervention mechanism, this paper has done the research from perspective of complex science and social network theory. First, the background of fake information diffusion in public crisis management was analyzed, then three hypothesis of simulation were concluded, this research will choose interventions to control fake information through Cellular Automaton simulation, and put forward a set of interventions in view of the reality of different situation to help control and reduce the loss of public crisis. This project will further perfect the theory of public crisis information spread and have the very vital significance to improve the government's information evaluation ability and intervention capabilities. © 2013 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
