Communication, Leadership, Publicity and Group Formation in Particle Swarms
In this paper we look at how the structure of the social network and the nature of the social interactions can affect the behaviour of particle swarms. To this end, we create and ...

An Analysis of the Different Components of the AntHocNet Routing Algorithm
Abstract. Mobile ad hoc networks are a class of highly dynamic networks. In previous work, we developed a new routing algorithm, called AntHocNet, for these challenging network env...

Extending the Particle Swarm Algorithm to Model Animal Foraging Behaviour
The particle swarm algorithm contains elements which map fairly strongly to the foraging problem in behavioural ecology. In this paper, we show how some simple adaptions to the sta...

Negotiation of Goal Direction for Cooperative Transport
In this paper, we study the cooperative transport of a heavy object by a group of robots towards a goal. We investigate the case in which robots have partial and noisy knowledge of...

On the Invariance of Ant System
It is often believed that the performance of ant system, and in general of ant colony optimization algorithms, depends somehow on the scale of the problem instance at hand. The iss...

Applying Aspects of Multi-robot Search to Particle Swarm Optimization
Abstract. We present a modified version of the Particle swarm Optimization algorithm in which we adjust the virtual swarm search by incorporating inter-agent dynamics native to mul...

Parallel Ant Colony Optimization for the Traveling Salesman Problem
There are two reasons for parallelizing a metaheuristic if one is interested in performance: (i) given a fixed time to search, the aim is to increase the quality of the solutions f...
