Composite Collective Decision Making - ant colony foraging model

Tomer Czaczkes Benjamin I Czaczkes | Published Thursday, December 17, 2015

The model explores how two types of information - social (in the form of pheromone trails) and private (in the form of route memories) affect ant colony level foraging in a variable enviroment.
