To construct graphs whose quality results from complicated relationships that pervade the entire graph, especially relationships at multiple scales, follow a strategy of repeatedly making local patches to a single graph. Look for small, easily recognized flaws in local areas of the graph and fix them.

Editor's Introduction: Stigmergy
Artificial Life, 1999The concept of stigmergy was introduced by French entomologist Pierre-Paul Grasse in the 1950s to describe the indirect communications taking place among individuals in a social insect colony. Stigmergy was originally defined by Grasse in his studies of the reconstruction of termite nests.

Artificial Life, 1999
Stigmergy is a class of mechanisms that mediate animal-animal interactions. Its introduction in 1959 by Pierre-Paul Grassé made it possible to explain what had been until then considered paradoxical observations: In an insect society individuals work as if they were alone while their collective activities appear to be coordinated.

Termite: ad-hoc networking with stigmergy
GLOBECOM '03. IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37489), 2004A biologically inspired algorithm is presented to route messages in mobile wireless ad-hoc networks. The principles of swarm intelligence are used to define a probabilistic algorithm for which routing through paths of maximum throughput is an emergent property.

Evolutionary Stigmergy in Multipurpose Navigation Systems
2006 IEEE International Conference on Evolutionary Computation, 2006Autonomous robot navigation involves many challenges and difficulties which are augmented when multiple robots operate together. Sophisticated computational techniques are required to cope with autonomous navigation in collective robotics, being the biologically-inspired approaches the most frequently adopted. Stigmergy, i. e. the ants communication by

Stigmergy-Based Collaborative Conceptual Modeling
2014 IEEE International Conference on Global Software Engineeering Workshops, 2014In software engineering, the conceptual model captures key concepts and relationships between concepts in a problem domain. In general, a conceptual model is usually constructed by one or several modelers, and the quality of the constructed model has a tight relation with the modelers' personal experience and capability.

Stigmergy-Based Construction of Internetware Artifacts
IEEE Software, 2015A proposed approach supports the continual construction and evolution of model-based Internetware artifacts by a collective of Internet-connected stakeholders. The key mechanism is incremental graph superimposition (IGS), a refinement of stigmergy, the process that produces collective intelligence in social insects.

Using Metadata Signals to Support Stigmergy
2010 Fourth IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Workshop, 2010Wikipedia, the “free encyclopedia that anyone can edit”, has evolved substantially over the years according to the editors’ needs for more coordination and better quality management. In particular, metadata in the form of “templates” added to pages have come to play a critical role, working in a sense like stigmergic “stigmata” or “signals” which ...

Modelling Situated Action Based on Affordances and Stigmergy
2012 IEEE Sixth International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems, 2012This paper describes a model to represent human activities in farming systems based on the situated action theory. The idea is to consider the environment as an intelligent entity that has the ability to decide locally, at given time and space, the actions to perform. Surrogates of real actors, called actuators, just execute the actions dictated by the

The logic of practices of stigmergy
Proceedings of the 2008 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work, 2008In their cooperative design practices, architects form series of interwoven representational artifacts. On the basis of a field study of architectural design, this article presents an analysis of these practices and shows how they are partly coordinated directly through the material field of work.
