— This paper proposes an age artificial immune system (AAIS), for optimal order pickings in an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) with multiple input/ output stations...
Multi-agent research often borrows from biology, where remarkable examples of collective intelligence may be found. One interesting example is ant colonies’ use of pheromones as...
We consider the Bounded Diameter Minimum Spanning Tree problem and describe four neighbourhood searches for it. They are used as local improvement strategies within a variable nei...
In many industrial applications, the dynamic control of queuing and routing presents difficult challenges. We describe a novel ant colony control system for a multiobjective sorti...

We present a biologically inspired approach to the dynamic assignment and reassignment of a homogeneous swarm of robots to multiple locations, which is relevant to applications lik...
