A simple response threshold model is used to explain a pattern of division of labour observed in the ponerine ant Ectatomma ruidum, where it was found that prey-foraging behaviour could be subdivided into two categories: stinging and transporting. Stingers kill live prey and transporters carry...

Complex architectures grown by simple agents moving randomly on a 3D lattice and depositing bricks deterministically depending on local configurations of bricks are presented. Some of these architectures are strikingly similar to real wasp nest architectures. But most algorithms, in the space of...

This paper presents an overview of an approach to address complexity issues and real-life engineering problems in large, urban transportation systems. In this context we discuss the fundamental problem of designing a metropolitan transportation system which is both efficient and controlable.

In a recent paper, we analysed the dynamics of traffic flow in a simple, square lattice architecture. It was shown that … perceived by each node. As a result of the feedback between traffic congestion and packet release, the system is poised at … criticality. Many well-known statistical features displayed by Internet traffic are recovered from our model in a natural way. …
