description This paper discusses a multi-agent coordination and control system. The system implements the PROSA architecture [12] and uses a specialized approach to stigmergy. This approach is discussed in relation to more commonplace designs based, for instance, on negotiation protocols. Next, the discussion focuses on the commonalities and differences between the source of inspiration for the system design – food foraging in ant colonies – and the resulting coordination control system itself. In particular, the discussion reveals that the multi-agent coordination and control system is based on deeper insights rather than a superficial translation of the biological example.
