Coordination par le biais de l'environnement : une approche biologique

This article describes a coordination mechanism through the environment and its implementation in the simulation of web building in a species of social spider. The work is grounded on societies of spiders which are an interesting model for the study of individual properties needed to make social life and cooperation to appear. In this article, we begin by motivating the work and making a state of the art of the biological inspiration in multi-agent systems. Then, we present the stigmergy process and illustrate it on the building of web. We detail its implementation from the computer scientist point of view and apply it to the simulation of web building. MOTS CLES : coordination réactive, stigmergie, simulation biologique.
