MODELING URBAN SERVICES USAGE WITH SOCIAL INSECT ALGORITHMS

摘要

This work concerns the implementation of swarm intelligence models in order to study the spatial emergence of organizations within self-organized systems, under multi-criteria constraints. The target application concerns user/service urban systems. A social insect algorithm based on ant nest building metaphor is proposed to deal with the adaptive process involved in the model. Experiment outputs are given and a specific analysis methodology is developed in order to better understand the complexity of the studied phenomena.
