The concept of stigmergy provides a simple framework for interaction and coordination in multi-agent systems. However, determining the global system behavior that will arise from ...
A classic example of multiagent coordination in a shared environment involves the use of pheromone deposits as a communication mechanism. Due to physical limitations in deploying ...

We present an algorithm for covering continuous domains by primitive robots whose only ability is to mark visited places with pheromone and to sense the level of the pheromone in t...

Abstract. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a paradigm that employs a set of cooperating agents to solve functions or obtain good solutions for combinatorial optimization problems. ...
The use of digital pheromones for controlling and coordinating swarms of unmanned vehicles is studied under various conditions to determine their effectiveness in multiple militar...

Social insects such as ants and bees perform complex tasks with pheromone communication despite lack of top-down style control. We have examined applications of this pheromone par...
