Simulating collective intelligence of bio-inspired competing agents

作者：

Highlights：

• Modeling a stochastic multi-species prey–predator artificial ecosystem with two levels of food chain.

• Investigating the influence of energy flow on the ecosystem lifetime.

• Defining energy variables as functions of behaviors.

• Analyzing model on 11,000 simulations by a Cox univariate analysis and a hazard function.

• Results match the behaviors of real ecosystems.
