Abstract

Stigmergy is usually used to model semantically simple problems such as routing. It can be applied to more complex problems by encoding them in the stigmergic environment. We demonstrate this approach by showing how stigmergic agents can plan over a hierarchical task network, specifically a resource-oriented dialect of the TÆMS language.
