The results of our simulations suggest that this algorithm-based approach is able to obtain a high representativeness for relatively small committees, performing even better than a classical voting rule based on a closed list of candidates. We show that a general relation between committee size and representatives exists in the form of an inverse square root law and that the normalized committee size approximately scales with the inverse of the community size, allowing the scalability to very large populations. These findings are not strongly influenced by the different networks used to describe the individuals’ interactions, except for the presence of few individuals with very high connectivity which can have a marginal negative effect in the committee selection process. 000070216 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2014-55867-P$$9This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 662725-IBSEN$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/662725/EU/Bridging the gap: from Individual Behaviour to the Socio-tEchnical MaN/IBSEN$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/FENOL-GROUP 000070216 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000070216 590__ $$a2.515$$b2018 000070216 591__ $$aMULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES$$b25 / 69 = 0.362$$c2018$$dQ2$$eT2 000070216 592__ $$a1.131$$b2018 000070216 593__ $$aMultidisciplinary$$c2018$$dQ1 000070216 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000070216 700__ $$aGracia-Lázaro, C. 000070216 700__ $$aBrigatti, E. 000070216 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-0895-1893$$aMoreno, Y.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000070216 7102_ $$12004$$2405$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
