Behaviourism in Studying Swarms: Logical Models of Sensing and Motoring By Andrew SchumannEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2018 (2019 Edition) | 477 Pages | ISBN : 331991541X | 21.83 MB
This book presents fundamental theoretical results for designing object-oriented programming languages for controlling swarms. It studies the logics of swarm behaviours. According to behaviourism, all behaviours can be controlled or even managed by stimuli in the environment: attractants (motivational reinforcement) and repellents (motivational punishment). At the same time, there are two main stages in reactions to stimuli: sensing (perceiving signals) and motoring (appropriate direct reactions to signals).
