Journal ArticleDOI
Topological patterns in street networks of self-organized urban settlements
Jerome Buhl,Jacques Gautrais,N. Reeves,Ricard V. Solé,Sergi Valverde,Pascale Kuntz,Guy Theraulaz +6 more
TL;DR: The global efficiency, robustness to disconnections and cost of these graphs is studied and their possible origins analyzed, finding a wide range of patterns, from tree-like settlements to meshed urban patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficiency and robustness in ant networks of galleries
Jerome Buhl,Jacques Gautrais,Ricard V. Solé,Pascale Kuntz,Sergi Valverde,Jean-Louis Deneubourg,Guy Theraulaz +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the networks of galleries have a path system efficiency and robustness to disconnections closer to the one observed in triangulated networks though their cost is closer tothe one of a tree.

Routing in Telecommunications Networks with ``Smart'' Ant-Like Agents
TL;DR: In this article, a simple mechanism based on ant-like agents for routing and load balancing in telecommunications networks is presented, following the initial works of Appleby and Stewart (1994) and Schoonderwoerd et al. (1997).
Journal ArticleDOI
An evolutionary approach with diversity guarantee and well-informed grouping recombination for graph coloring
TL;DR: This work introduces a special grouping-based multi-parent crossover operator which relies on several relevant features to identify meaningful building blocks for offspring construction and proves to be highly competitive when it is applied on the whole set of the DIMACS benchmark graphs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stigmergic construction and topochemical information shape ant nest architecture
Anaïs Khuong,Jacques Gautrais,Andrea Perna,Chaker Sbaï,Maud Combe,Pascale Kuntz,Christian Jost,Guy Theraulaz +7 more
TL;DR: A model entirely based on experimental data confirms that the individual level interactions and building rules are sufficient to reproduce the nest growth dynamics and the spatial patterns observed for real ant nests, and suggests that the lifetime of the pheromone is a highly influential parameter that controls the growth and form of nest architecture.
