Genetic stigmergy: Framework and applications
<p>Stigmergy has long been studied and recognized as an effective system for self-organization among social insects. Through the use of chemical agents known as pheromones, insect colonies are capable of complex collective behavior often beyond the scope of an individual agent. In an effort to …

Developing a Framework for Stigmergic Human Collaboration with Technology Tools: Cases in Emergency Response
… (2014, 2007a, b) theorizes that human cognitive stigmergy explains some self-organizing characteristics of ad hoc systems. Elliott (2007) identifies cognitive stigmergy as a factor in mass collaborations supported by digital workspaces. Stigmergy, a term from biology, refers to the phenomenon of …

Emergent Communication: The evolution of simplistic machines using different communication types
… This type of communication is known as stigmergy. Both word of mouth communication and stigmergy require the existence of groups of communicators. It is, however, difficult to analyse a very large number of local interactions that occur in group behaviour. A global phenomenon known as …

Self-adapting agent organisations
… in agent systems using various approaches like stigmergy, reinforcement mechanisms, cooperative actions of agents and reward based mechanisms for selfish agents. However, none of these are directly applicable to agent organisations because they cannot be incorporated into deliberative agents …

Developing a New Mechanical Model for Swarm Development in Myxococcus xanthus & Establishing a Genotype-to-Phenotype Correlation Between Swarm Pattern Formation and Gene Homology
… behavior; complicated cell-to-cell signaling, stigmergy (where a trace formed by a cell on an agar surface influences the movement of nearby cells that contact the trace), and cell differentiation are not required for aggregation. We propose that M. xanthus aggregation matches a physical …

Generating Compact Wasp Nest Structures via Minimal Complexity Algorithms.
<p>Many models have been developed to explain the process of self organization-the emergence of seemingly purposeful behaviors from groups of entities with limited individual intelligence. However, the underlying behavior that facilitates the emergence of this global pattern is not generally well …
