Abstract
The multi-agent model is a model in which agents with limited ability cooperate each other to accomplish a goal. In this paper, we introduce a multi-agent model in which agents are created to imitate real ants. There are two different type of agents, each type of which has a part icular task. We designed agents to communicate each other by using phe romone considering noise. On this model, we observed cooperative behav ior of agents and evaluated conditions to make an order of behavior in the model. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
