Dynamic Scheduling and Division of Labor in Social Insects
Market-based algorithms have been introduced several years ago (Kurose & Simha, 1989; Waldspurger et al., 1992; Huberman & Hogg, 1995; Clearwater & Huberman, 1994; Clearwater,1995; Wellman, 1993, 1995; Ykke et al., 1997; Ykke, 1998) as a new paradigm for controlling complex, unpredictable systems. In a market-based algorithm, resources or tasks are allocated efficiently through a market-clearin...
متن کاملModels of division of labor in social insects.
Division of labor is one of the most basic and widely studied aspects of colony behavior in social insects. Studies of division of labor are concerned with the integration of individual worker behavior into colony level task organization and with the question of how regulation of division of labor may contribute to colony efficiency. Here we describe and critique the current models concerned wi...
متن کاملAdaptive Task Allocation Inspired by a Model of Division of Labor in Social Insects
Social insects provide us with a powerful metaphor to create decentralized systems of simple interacting, and often mobile, agents. The emergent collective intelligence of social insects – swarm intelligence – resides not in complex individual abilities but rather in networks of interactions that exist among individuals and between individuals and their environment. In particular, a recently pr...
متن کاملWhy humans have sex.
Historically, the reasons people have sex have been assumed to be few in number and simple in nature-to reproduce, to experience pleasure, or to relieve sexual tension. Several theoretical perspectives suggest that motives for engaging in sexual intercourse may be larger in number and psychologically complex in nature. Study 1 used a nomination procedure that identified 237 expressed reasons fo...
متن کاملResource-Aware Clustering of Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Division of Labor in Social Insects
In this work concepts of division of labor in social insects and emergent self-organization are used to design a very efficient heuristic for clustering wireless sensor networks. Differently from previous approaches, we aim at creating clusters with a minimum amount of resources and good intra-cluster connectivity. Our heuristic has two steps. First, we elect the most suitable clusterheads that...
