A FPGA Architecture for Foraging Behavior in Simulation and Colonies

This paper presents some results regarding the desing and implementation of an architecture that supports an experimental platform for simulating the foraging process of ant colonies. Both the Ant-System and the Ant-Cycle algorithms model the behavior of ants. The platform allows to change parameter...

Este artículo presenta algunos resultados en relación con el diseño y la implementación de una arquitectura que soporta una plataforma experimental para simular el proceso de alimentación de las colonias de hormigas. Los algoritmos Ant-system  y Ant-Cycle modelan el comportamiento de las hormigas. La plataforma permite cambiar parámetros como la cantidad y la velocidad de las hormigas, la cantidad y ubicación de los alimentos y el radio y la frecuencia de difusión de la feromona de las hormigas. Estos parámetros se visualizan a través de una interfaz  VGA. La implementación de hardware se lleva a cabo sobre tecnología FPGA de Xilinx©. La teoría detrás de este diseño considera que los comportamientos complejos pueden surgir de sistemas con una estructura simple . Este trabajo se enfrenta a la pregunta acerca de la complejidad global emergente de un sistema cuya complejidad estructural es mínima o inexistente. 2015-08-31 2019-09-19T21:38:59Z 2019-09-19T21:38:59Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Article Artículo https://revistas.udistrital.edu.co/index.php/reving/article/view/8619 10.14483/23448393.8619 http://hdl.handle.net/11349/19834 spa https://revistas.udistrital.edu.co/index.php/reving/article/view/8619/11128 https://revistas.udistrital.edu.co/index.php/reving/article/view/8619/11295 Copyright (c) 2015 Ingeniería application/pdf text/html Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas Ingeniería; Vol 20 No 2 (2015): July - December; 255-270 Ingeniería; Vol. 20 Núm. 2 (2015): Julio - Diciembre; 255-270 2344-8393 0121-750X
