An Evolutionary Perspective on Self-Organized Division of Labor in Social Insects
Division of labor is a complex phenomenon observed throughout nature. Theoretical studies have focused either on its emergence through selforganization mechanisms or on its adaptive consequences. We suggest that the interaction of self-organization, which undoubtedly characterizes division of labor in social insects, and evolution should be further explored. We review the factors empirically sh...
متن کاملModels of division of labor in social insects.
Division of labor is one of the most basic and widely studied aspects of colony behavior in social insects. Studies of division of labor are concerned with the integration of individual worker behavior into colony level task organization and with the question of how regulation of division of labor may contribute to colony efficiency. Here we describe and critique the current models concerned wi...
متن کاملDynamic Scheduling and Division of Labor in Social Insects
Market-based algorithms have been introduced several years ago (Kurose & Simha, 1989; Waldspurger et al., 1992; Huberman & Hogg, 1995; Clearwater & Huberman, 1994; Clearwater,1995; Wellman, 1993, 1995; Ykke et al., 1997; Ykke, 1998) as a new paradigm for controlling complex, unpredictable systems. In a market-based algorithm, resources or tasks are allocated efficiently through a market-clearin...
متن کاملResource-Aware Clustering of Wireless Sensor Networks Based on Division of Labor in Social Insects
In this work concepts of division of labor in social insects and emergent self-organization are used to design a very efficient heuristic for clustering wireless sensor networks. Differently from previous approaches, we aim at creating clusters with a minimum amount of resources and good intra-cluster connectivity. Our heuristic has two steps. First, we elect the most suitable clusterheads that...
متن کاملAdaptive Task Allocation Inspired by a Model of Division of Labor in Social Insects
Social insects provide us with a powerful metaphor to create decentralized systems of simple interacting, and often mobile, agents. The emergent collective intelligence of social insects – swarm intelligence – resides not in complex individual abilities but rather in networks of interactions that exist among individuals and between individuals and their environment. In particular, a recently pr...
