 Zollman’s results are shown in  Figure 7  for the three simple networks shown in  Figure 8.  The communication network which performs the best is not the fully connected network in which all investigators have access to all results from all others, but the maximally distributed network represented by the ring. As Zollman also shows, this is also that configuration which takes the longest time to achieve convergence. See  an interactive simulation of a simplified version of Zollman’s model  in the Other Internet Resources section below.
