StigDiff: Stigmergy Diffusion for Signal Compensation in Multi-Agent Localization

open access: yesIEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems
Multi-agent localization faces the problem of signal loss or attenuation. To address the signal compensation problem, we propose a novel diffusion model for multi-agent signal compensation, named StigDiff.

Trace Signals: The Meanings of Stigmergy

open access: yes, 2007
When agents act is a common environment they leave traces. In this paper we explore the importance of using such traces as signals (stigma). Trace signals enable a flexible way to support indirect interaction between agents without adopting dedicated communication channels and signals.

The Collective Power of Bacteria as a Blueprint for Emergent Intelligence

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Small cells, powerful collectives. Bacteria demonstrate how sophisticated behaviors can emerge from many simple individuals working together. We explore the remarkable world of bacterial communities and the mechanisms that underpin their complex emergent behaviors, enabling impressive adaptability, robustness, and responsiveness to changing ...

Cognitive Stigmergy: Towards a Framework Based on Agents and Artifacts

open access: yes, 2007
Stigmergy has been adopted in MAS (multi-agent systems) and in other fields as a technique for realising forms of emergent coordination in societies composed by a large amount of ant-like, nonrational agents.

Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
We present a method for the control of robot swarms which allows the shaping and the translation of patterns of simple robots (“smart particles”), using two types of devices. These two types represent a hierarchy: a larger group of simple, oblivious robots (which we call the workers) that is governed by simple local attraction forces and a smaller ...

Collaboration in Web N.0: Stigmergy and virtual pheromones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The aim of this project was to develop a general theory of stigmergy and a software design pattern to build collaborative websites. Stigmergy is a biological term used when describing some insect swarm-behaviour where 'food gathering' and 'nest building'

Modelling stigmergy: Evolutionary framework for system Design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Stigmergy is an evolutionary phenomenon of self-organised collective problem-solving mechanism in nature among simple agents (ants, termites, fireflies and so on).

Materials and Music: Selective Imperfection as a Generative Framework for Analysis, Creativity and Discovery

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Materials, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 834-867, September 2026.
Vibrations in matter, from spider webs to molecules, water to flames, share a grammar with music. We propose that creativity emerges when constraints force expansion beyond existing possibilities. Selective imperfection restores balance, enabling invention.

Extending the RoboCup Rescue to Support Stigmergy: Experiments and Results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Social insects have inspired researches in computer sciences as well asengineers to develop models for coordination and cooperation in multiagent systems.One example of these models is the model of stigmergy.
