Abstract
Cooperative behavior of social insects is widely studied and mimicked in Artificial Intelligence communities. One such interesting cooperation is observed in the form of philanthropic activity e.g. army ants build bridges using their own bodies along the route from a food source to the nest. Such altruistic behavior helps to optimize the food gathering performance of the ant colony. This paper presents a multi-agent simulation inspired by army ant behavior. Such cooperation in a multi agent system can be very valuable for engineering applications. The purpose of this study is to model and comprehend this biological behavior by computer simulation. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
