A Nested Layered Threshold Model for Dynamic Task Allocation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dynamic task allocation is an essential aspect in modelling ant behaviour. In this paper, we propose a new (abstract) model for dynamic task allocation of agents that combines a nested layered architecture with a threshold mechanism. We apply this new model to achieve flexible ant behaviour. This serves the dual purpose of validating the abstract model, and providing a concrete model for adaptive ant behaviour. Experiments show us that this model gives very realistic and flexible results.

Neural networks as mechanisms to regulate division of labor.
In social insects, workers perform a multitude of tasks, such as foraging, nest construction, and brood rearing, without central control of how work is allocated among individuals. It has been suggested that workers choose a task by responding to stimuli gathered from the environment. Response-threshold models assume that individuals in a colony vary in the stimulus intensity (response threshol...
متن کاملHistory-Based Response Threshold Model for Division of Labor in Multi-Agent Systems
Dynamic task allocation is a necessity in a group of robots. Each member should decide its own task such that it is most commensurate with its current state in the overall system. In this work, the response threshold model is applied to a dynamic foraging task. Each robot employs a task switching function based on the local task demand obtained from the surrounding environment, and no communica...
متن کاملProposed Feature Selection for Dynamic Thermal Management in Multicore Systems
Increasing the number of cores in order to the demand of more computing power has led to increasing the processor temperature of a multi-core system. One of the main approaches for reducing temperature is the dynamic thermal management techniques. These methods divided into two classes, reactive and proactive. Proactive methods manage the processor temperature, by forecasting the temperature be...
متن کاملEnvironmental Kuznets Curve: new evidences based on a dynamic panel threshold model
This paper examines the non-linear relationship between CO2 emissions and economic development using an innovative dynamic panel threshold technique. The sample consists of 35 developed countries over the period 2003-2010. The empirical results indicate that there is a threshold effect in the relationship between economic growth and pollutant emissions as suggested by the environmental Kuznets ...
متن کاملRobust Fault Detection on Boiler-turbine Unit Actuators Using Dynamic Neural Networks
Due to the important role of the boiler-turbine units in industries and electricity generation, it is important to diagnose different types of faults in different parts of boiler-turbine system. Different parts of a boiler-turbine system like the sensor or actuator or plant can be affected by various types of faults. In this paper, the effects of the occurrence of faults on the actuators are in...
