In recent years, we have been interested in the up-and-down prospects of academic societies, including both universities and academies. We have developed a University-Academy Coupling Model, which is built on the multi-agent simulation technique. In the artificial society, there exist both...

In the introduction a distinction is made between the macroscopic approach, which the spatially explicit method is connected with, and the microscopic approach. The spatially explicit method is considered in relation to the interactions between located variables: without and with transport of...

Drawing inspiration from social interactions in nature, the field of swarm intelligence has presented a promising approach to the design of complex systems consisting of numerous, usually homogeneous, simple parts, to solve a wide variety of problems. Like cellular automata, swarm-intelligence...

In this paper we present three Swarm Intelligence algorithms which we evaluate on the complex foraging task domain. Each of the algorithms draws inspiration from biologic bee foraging/nest-site selection behavior. The main focus will be on the third algorithm, namely STIGMERGIC LANDMARK FORAGING...

We introduce a model of information packet transport on networks in which the packets are posted by a given rate and move in parallel according to a local search algorithm. By performing a number of simulations we investigate the major kinetic properties of the transport as a function of the...
