A Stigmergy-Based Differential Evolution
Applied Sciences, 2022 Metaheuristic algorithms are techniques that have been successfully applied to solve complex optimization problems in engineering and science. Many metaheuristic approaches, such as Differential Evolution (DE), use the best individual found so far from ...

On the role of stigmergy in cognition [PDF]
Progress in Artificial Intelligence, 2016 Cognition in animals is produced by the self-organized activity of mutually entrained body and brain. Given that stigmergy plays a major role in self-organization of societies, we identify stigmergic behavior in cognitive systems, as a common mechanism ranging from brain activity to social systems.

Engineering Human Stigmergy [PDF]
International Journal of Computers Communications & Control, 2015 Discovered in the context of a research about insects, stigmergy – the indirect coordination mechanism that allows ant colonies to achieve intelligent behavior – has been extensively studied with the aim to create artificial, ant-like agents. Although stigmergic behavior has been also identified in human collectivities, there are relatively few reports

Practices of Stigmergy in the Building Process
Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), 2012 Actors coordinate their cooperative efforts by acting on the evidence of work previously accomplished. Based on a field study this article introduces the concept of stigmergy to the analysis of coordinative practices in the building process. It distinguishes between practices of stigmergy, articulation work and awareness practices.

, 2011 This chapter discusses the meaning and implementation aspects of stigmergy when viewed as a coordination mechanism. It starts with a general review of stigmergy concepts and definitions established in biological systems, followed by some historical considerations.

Brain-Inspired Stigmergy Learning [PDF]
IEEE Access, 2019 Originating from entomology, stigmergy has provided an effective framework for swarm collaboration. Based on new discoveries on astrocytes in regulating synaptic transmission in the brain, this paper has mapped stigmergy mechanism into the interaction ...

Utilizing Stigmergy in Support of Autonomic Principles [PDF]
Third International Conference on Semantics, Knowledge and Grid (SKG 2007), 2007 Learning by nature has always been a source of inspiration for various kinds of developments in different domains. So called bio-inspired mechanisms, such as stigmergy, swarm behavior or heart beat monitoring have been utilized in various systems in order to take advantage of principles that have not only been evolved by nature but have been proven to ...

Stigmergy in Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
Fourth International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems (HIS'04), 2005 In this paper, we describe how certain aspects of the biological phenomena of stigmergy can be imported into multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), with the purpose of better enabling coordination of agent actions and speeding up learning. In particular, we detail how these stigmergic aspects can be used to define an inter-agent communication ...

A mechanistic, stigmergy model of territory formation in solitary animals: Territorial behavior can dampen disease prevalence but increase persistence. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2020 Although movement ecology has leveraged models of home range formation to explore the effects of spatial heterogeneity and social cues on movement behavior, disease ecology has yet to integrate these potential drivers and mechanisms of contact behavior ...

Testing the limits of pheromone stigmergy in high-density robot swarms [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Area coverage and collective exploration are key challenges for swarm robotics. Previous research in this field has drawn inspiration from ant colonies, with real, or more commonly virtual, pheromones deposited into a shared environment to coordinate ...
