AntMind

Ants are fascinating. They exhibit complex behaviors while having very limited brain power. Based on observations of how they forage we will mimic their behavior in a computer simulation. This model will then be put to the test: can it find food as efficiently as a real live ant colony? Let us bring biology and information technology together to uncover the secrets of the swarm. Get ready to code: the AntMind! For observations we will be keeping live ant colonies of local species in formicaria. All modelling will be performed using Greenfoot - an easy to use, java based environment for students of IT.
