Behavior Combination and Swarm Programming

Keen Browne, Jon McCune, Adam Trost, David Evans, David C. Brogan

Abstract: The RoboCup Simulator League provides an excellent platform for research on swarm computing. Our research focuses on group behaviors emerge from collections of actors making decisions based on local information. Our RoboCup simulator team is designed around an architecture for experimenting with behavioral primitives defined over groups and mechanisms for combining those behaviors.
