Cooperation among Microorganisms
September 2006 | Volume 4 | Issue 9 | e299 One of the organizing principles of life on Earth is that cells cooperate. This is evident in the case of multicellular organisms, from nematodes to humans, but it also appears to apply widely among single-celled organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and amoeba. In many cases, the label “single-celled” applies to only part of the life cycle of these organ...
متن کاملCooperation Among Autonomous Agents
Cooperating autonomous agents are becoming increasingly attractive for systems where problem solving and decision making must be decentralized. So far, work in this area has focused either on theoretical aspects or on implementation of ad-hoc specialized applications, but neither has led to significant result in the industrial field. One reason for this is that little of the work done can be us...
متن کاملCooperation among Multiple Robotic Mechanisms
This paper proposes an architecture to achieve cooperative behaviour among a set of robotic devices. The architecture, with a pure reactive nature privileges the use of local decision mechanisms instead of centralized ones. The performance assessment for the execution of a class of tasks common in the operation of mobile manipulators is made via a particular mission composed by a number of tasks.
متن کاملI. Cooperation among Cancer Cells
spheres to represent individual cells in a solid tumor. The model calculates chemical gradients and determines the dynamics of the tumor as emergent properties of the interactions between the cells. As an example, we present an investigation of cooperation among cancer cells where cooperators secrete a growth factor that is costly to synthesize. Simulations reveal that cooperation is favored wh...
متن کاملEvolution of cooperation among tumor cells.
The evolution of cooperation has a well established theoretical framework based on game theory. This approach has made valuable contributions to a wide variety of disciplines, including political science, economics, and evolutionary biology. Existing cancer theory suggests that individual clones of cancer cells evolve independently from one another, acquiring all of the genetic traits or hallma...
