A Model for Foraging Ants, Controlled by Spiking Neural Networks and Double Pheromones
Cristian Jimenez-Romero, David Sousa-Rodrigues, Jeffrey H. Johnson +1
A model of an Ant System where ants are controlled by a spiking neural circuit and a second order pheromone mechanism in a foraging task is presented. A neural circuit is trained f…
Traversing News with Ant Colony Optimisation and Negative Pheromones
David M. S. Rodrigues, Vitorino Ramos
The past decade has seen the rapid development of the online newsroom. News published online are the main outlet of news surpassing traditional printed newspapers. This poses chall…
Second Order Swarm Intelligence
Vitorino Ramos, David M. S. Rodrigues, Jorge Louçã
An artificial Ant Colony System (ACS) algorithm to solve general-purpose combinatorial Optimization Problems (COP) that extends previous AC models [21] by the inclusion of a negati…
KohonAnts: A Self-Organizing Ant Algorithm for Clustering and Pattern Classification
C. Fernandes, A. M. Mora, J. J. Merelo +2
In this paper we introduce a new ant-based method that takes advantage of the cooperative self-organization of Ant Colony Systems to create a naturally inspired clustering and patt…
Computational Chemotaxis in Ants and Bacteria over Dynamic Environments
Vitorino Ramos, C. M. Fernandes, A. C. Rosa +1
Chemotaxis can be defined as an innate behavioural response by an organism to a directional stimulus, in which bacteria, and other single-cell or multicellular organisms direct the…
On Ants, Bacteria and Dynamic Environments
Vitorino Ramos, Carlos Fernandes, Agostinho C. Rosa
Wasps, bees, ants and termites all make effective use of their environment and resources by displaying collective swarm intelligence. Termite colonies - for instance - build nests…
