Towards Swarm Calculus: Universal Properties of Swarm Performance and Collective Decisions
Posted on January 8, 2013 |By Heiko Hamann http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-32650-9_15?CFID=230861028&CFTOKEN=49429442 The search for generally applicable methods in swarm intelligence aims to gain new insights about natural swarms and to develop design methodologies for artificial swarms. The ideal would be a ‘swarm calculus’ that allows to calculate key features such as expected... -
Don’t Go With The Ant Flow: Ant-Inspired Traffic Routing In Urban Environments
Posted on January 8, 2013 |by Jorg Dallmeyer, Rene ́Schumann, Andreasd Lattner, Andingoj Timm Proceedings of the 7th. International Workshop on Agents in Traffic and Transportation (ATT 2012) held at AAMAS 2012 This interesting paper addresses dynamic routing problems where the load of roads is taken into account dynamically. It... -
Toward Sociotechnical Urban Superorganisms: Franco Zambonelli
Posted on September 13, 2012 |IEEE Computer, 45(8):76-78: August 2012 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6272263 This article /starts form the idea that pervasive computing technologies can enable very flexible situated collaboration patterns among citizens and, via crowdsourcing, can promote a participatory way of contributing to the wealth and quality of life of our urban... -
On the Feasibility of Side-Channel Attacks with Brain-Computer Interface: Ivan Martinovic, Doug Davies, Mario Frank, Daniele Perito, Tomas Ros, Dawn Song
Posted on September 13, 2012 |USENIX Security Symposium, Bellevue, WA, USA: August 8-10, 2012 This fascinating article describes security issues related to a novel and intriguing set of pervasive devices: brain computer interfaces. This kind of devices, like electroencephalographs (EEG), are moving beyond medical applications and are entering our everyday... -
The first connection system for modular underwater bio-inspired robots by S. Mintchev et.al
Posted on November 17, 2011 |IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2011), S. Francisco, California, September 2011. http://www.iros2011.org/WorkshopsAndTutorialsProceedings/SW9/iros_11_sw9_05_final.pdf This paper was exploited by the CoCoRo project. Adding modularity to robots involve both awareness aspects at the single module level, and self-awareness aspect at the ensemble level. This... -
Collective Perception in a Robot Swarm by T. Schmickl et. al
Posted on November 17, 2011 |Lecture Notes in Computer Science 4433 (2007), 144-157. http://zool33.uni-graz.at/artlife/node/27 This paper was exploited by the CoCoRo project. The “collective perception” is at the base of the awareness of a group of entities. Moreover, a collective action requires the awareness of the other participants in a... -
On Artificial Immune Systems and Swarm Intelligence by J. Timmis et al.
Posted on November 17, 2011 |Swarm Intelligence 4:247-273. DOI: 10.1007/s11721-010-0045-5 http://www.springerlink.com/content/ph870321605504m4/ This paper was exploited by the CoCoRo project. Artificial Immune Systems and Swarm Intelligence represent two interesting paradigms in the area of Awareness. This paper points out the common aspects of them but also their complementarity, which can be... -
An Interdisciplinary Perspective on Artificial Immune Systems by J. Timmis et al.
Posted on November 17, 2011 |Evolutionary Intelligence 1(1):5-26. (2008). http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/jtimmis/papers/evolintel2008.pdf This paper was exploited by the CoCoRo project. Artificial Immune Systems are presented here as much more than engineered systems inspired by the biological immune system. Since the auto immune system is related to self-awareness in the biological being, this... -
The Recognition Heuristic and the Less-Is-More Effect by D. G. Goldstein and G. Gigerenzer.
Posted on October 28, 2011 |In Handbook of Experimental Economics Results, vol. 1, Part 7, pp 987- 992, Elsevier, 2008. doi:10.1016/S1574-0722(07)00106-0 This paper was exploited by the RECOGNITION project. This paper associates the recognition heuristic with the “the less is more” effect, concerning the trade-off between effort and accuracy: less... -
Models of Ecological Rationality: The Recognition Heuristic by D. G. Goldstein and G. Gigerenzer.
Posted on October 28, 2011 |Psychological Review, 2002. DOI: 10.1037/0033-295X.109.1.75 This paper was exploited by the RECOGNITION project. Usually, heuristics are based on the principle “take the best, ignore the rest”. The recognition principle refined it and states the following: “If only one of the two objects is recognized, then...
