XML file has an extra field called "pheromone", which is a concept taken from ant colonies systems. This algorithm can be used for component, service and resource selection; this is possible because our model ...
متن کاملSpatio-selection in Expanding Bacterial Colonies
Segregation of populations is a key question in evolution theory. One important aspect is the relation between spatial organization and the popula-tion's composition. Here we study a speciic example { sectors in expanding bacterial colonies. Such sectors are spatially segregated sub-populations of mutants.
