  1. The Social Insect Metaphor Adam Dennis,Kate Patterson, Curtis Sanford,Andrew Vanderveen

  2. Rationale • Intelligent packets, called “Ants”, that interact to keep the contents of the routing tables up to date. • These Ants are only capable of simple stochastic decisions influenced by the availability of previously laid stigmergic, volatile trails.

  3. Goals of Ants • To reach the “food” (destination), and make a successful return path

  4. Drawbacks • On encountering multiple stigmergic trails, an Ant will probabilistically choose the route with greatest stigmergic reinforcement. • Naturally, this will correspond to the ‘fastest’ route to the food.

  5. AntNet • Created by Di Caro and Dorigo • Forward Ants • Backward Ants • Routing Tables • Synchronization
