Urban Dynamics Modelling Using Ant Nest Building
نویسندگان
چکیده
Urban dynamics deal with spatial organizations where a great complexity of interactions appears. Social and economic aspects interact and environmental objectives are nowadays a major purpose for sustainable urban development. We propose some generic modelling processes able to face with this complexity, in order to simulate the evolution of the city centers. These organizational centers need a multi-criteria description for their evolution, including feed-back phenomena of them over their environment and components. We propose a swarm intelligence algorithm, using social-insect collective behavior. We combine a decentralized approach, based on emergent clustering mixed with spatial constraints or attractions, as an extension of the ant nest building algorithm with multi-center. Typically, this model is currently used by ourself, to model and analyze cultural equipment dynamics in urban area.

متن کاملControlling Ant-Based Construction
This paper investigates the dynamics of decentralised nest construction in the ant species Leptothorax tuberointerruptus, exploring the contribution of, and interaction between, a pheromone building template and a physical building template (the bodies of the ants themselves). We present a continuous-space model of ant behaviour capable of generating ant-like nest structures, the integrity and ...
متن کاملThe Role of Molehills and Grasses for Filial Nest Founding in the Wood Ant Formica exsecta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
In polydomous populations of the wood ant Formica exsecta filial nest founding is common. This is relevant for colony dynamics, short-distance dispersal and colony survival. However, little is known about nest site choice, microsite requirements and the nest-building behavior itself. In this context we evaluate the role of the European mole, Talpa europaea, as an ecosystem engineer that provide...
متن کاملStigmergic construction and topochemical information shape ant nest architecture.
The nests of social insects are not only impressive because of their sheer complexity but also because they are built from individuals whose work is not centrally coordinated. A key question is how groups of insects coordinate their building actions. Here, we use a combination of experimental and modeling approaches to investigate nest construction in the ant Lasius niger. We quantify the const...
