Directional Pheromone Gradient Observations for Decentralized Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in Swarm Drone Search and Rescue

Drones
Search-and-rescue (SAR) operations in disaster environments require drone swarms to coordinate efficiently despite incomplete information and potential communication failures.

A Novel ACO-Based Static Task Scheduling Approach for Multiprocessor Environments

International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2016
Optimized task scheduling is one of the most important challenges in parallel and distributed systems. In such architectures during compile step, each program is decomposed into the smaller segments so-called tasks.

Metaheuristic approach to transportation scheduling in emergency situations

Transport, 2013
This paper compares two metaheuristic approaches in solving a constrained transportation scheduling problem, which can be found in transporting goods in emergency situations. We compared Greedy Search, Parameter-less Evolutionary Search and Ant-Stigmergy

Stigmergy in Web 2.0 : a model for site dynamics [PDF]

, 2012
Building Web 2.0 sites does not necessarily ensure the success of the site. We aim to better understand what improves the success of a site by drawing insight from biologically inspired design patterns.

Cognitive Stigmergy: a Framework Based on Agents and Artifacts

, 2006
. Stigmergy has been variously adopted in MASs (multi-agent systems) and in other fields as well—as a technique for realising forms of emergent coordination in societies composed by a large amount of typically simple, ant-like, non-rational agents.

Epistemic Stigmergy: Natural vs. Artificial Intelligence

The article defends the thesis that intelligent behavior might require not internal complexity but complex interaction. This is demonstrated by the various forms of stigmergy that can be observed both in social insects and in humans.

Efficient Swarm Robotic Persistent Surveillance by use of Stigmergy

, 2021
Persistent surveillance is the act of covering an environment persistently, as fast as possible. By exploiting the intelligence of the swarm, it is possible to create a swarm robotic persistent surveillance method that can deal with unknown dynamic ...

Stigmergy-based Load Scheduling in a Demand Side Management Context [PDF]

, 2016
This work proposes an approach, based on a fundamental coordination mechanism from nature, namely stigmergy. The proposed meta-heuristic is utilized to distributively calculate global schedules for a population of customers provided with intelligent ...
