The complexity of information systems is increasing in recent years, leading to increased
effort for maintenance and configuration. Self-adaptive systems (SASs) address this issue …

Background The foraging task is one of the canonical testbeds for cooperative robotics, in
which a collection of robots has to search and transport objects to specific storage point (s) …

Many species in nature store information in the environment to facilitate the performance of
tasks and enable cooperation. This principle is known as stigmergy. Stigmergy has been …

Self-organizing software systems are an increasingly attractive approach to highly
distributed, decentralized, dynamic applications. In some domains (such as the Internet), the …

The foraging task is one of the canonical testbeds for cooperative robotics, in which a
collection of robots have to find and transport one or more objects to specific storagepoints …

Aiming at the disadvantages of structural meshes that are difficult to deal with complex
shapes and unstructured meshes, it is impossible to calculate the viscous flow with …

The advent of the swarm makes it feasible to dynamically monitor a wide area for maritime
applications. The crucial problems of underwater swarm monitoring are communication and …

Existing studies on the multirobot foraging problem often assume safe settings, in which
nothing in an environment hinders the robots' tasks. In many real-world applications, robots …

In this paper, we will present a working methodology for solving the task allocation problem
in a multi-robot system, ie assign the tasks being performed to appropriate robots. In fact, the …

The foraging task is one of the canonical testbeds for cooperative robotics, in which a
collection of coordinated robots have to find and transport one or more objects to one or …
