Stigmergy as a universal coordination mechanism II: Varieties and evolution
The concept of stigmergy, a mechanism for the coordination of actions via the trace they leave in a medium, can explain self-organizing activities in a broad range of domains, including social insects, collaborative websites, and human institutions. The present paper attempts to bring some order to these diverse applications by classifying varieties of stigmergy according to general aspects: th...
متن کاملStigmergy as a universal coordination mechanism I: Definition and components
The concept of stigmergy has been used to analyze self-organizing activities in an ever-widening range of domains, including social insects, robotics, web communities and human society. Yet, it is still poorly understood and as such its full power remains underappreciated. The present paper clarifies the issue by defining stigmergy as a mechanism of indirect coordination in which the trace left...
متن کاملA Rule Extractor for Diagnosing the Type 2 Diabetes Using a Self-organizing Genetic Algorithm
Introduction: Constructing medical decision support models to automatically extract knowledge from data helps physicians in early diagnosis of disease. Interpretability of the inferential rules of these models is a key indicator in determining their performance in order to understand how they make decisions, and increase the reliability of their output. Methods: In this study, an automated hyb...
متن کاملEnhancing Service-oriented Holonic Multi-agent Systems with Self-organization
Multi-agents systems and holonic manufacturing systems are suitable approaches to design a new and alternative class of production control systems, based on the decentralization of control functions over distributed autonomous and cooperative entities. However, in spite of their enormous potential they lack some aspects related to interoperability, migration, optimisation in decentralised struc...
متن کاملSelf-Adaptation for Robustness and Cooperation in Holonic Multi-Agent Systems
This paper reflects a discussion at the SARC workshop, held in Venice, October 2008. This workshop addresses robustness and cooperation in holonic multi-agent systems within a context of self-organizing and selfadaptive systems. The paper first presents the basic principles underlying holonic systems. The holonic system reveals itself as a ‘law of the artificial’: in a demanding and dynamic env...
