摘要

The quantitative understanding of human behavior is a central question of modern science. Because of the complexity of human behavior, it is almost impossible to seek regularities in human dynamics. It is assumed that human actions are randomly distributed in time in current models for human dynamics. While the characteristics of human behavior combined with the queue model are considered as model for human dynamics based on habit to explain bursts and heavy tails in human dynamics more exactly. Normal distribution is used to simulate intervals of succession of events, and random parameters are set as unexpected events disturbing habit behaviors. Moreover, duration of events are proposed to imitate continual attention to some events in human behaviors.
