Subject: | [Swarm-Modelling] Trying to locate a suitable model. |
Date: | Fri, 7 Jan 2005 17:14:57 -0000 |
I am a final year undergraduate student in Computer
Science, doing my honours project on cellular-based computing with Dr Martyn
Amos. We are looking to do some work on intelligent searching of biological
parameter space (eg. with genetic algorithms), and for that we need a model to
act as the fitness function. I am hoping that someone can recommend to me a
suitable existing model, as the emphasis will be on the forward simulation
rather than on the biological realism of the model itself. Preferably this model would run in NetLogo or Swarm
and generate different spatial patterns depending on several 'tuneable'
parameters. Ideally, the model could be used to create patterns resembling an
iris (concentric rings for example); however any distinct pattern is desirable.
For example, a simulation of bacterial chemotaxis that generates
"stripy" patterns under some conditions and "blobs" under
others would also be appropriate. If anyone knows of such a model and could point me
in the right direction I would be most obliged. Of course, we will fully
acknowledge the authorship of the existing model, and would offer co-authorship
of any resulting articles (we anticipate at least one). Yours sincerely, Daniel McGreal |
