👉 Ant computing, or Ant-based computing, is a software architecture paradigm inspired by the distributed and decentralized nature of ant colonies in biological systems. It leverages the principles of swarm intelligence, where simple agents (like individual ants) interact locally with their environment and each other to solve complex problems collectively. In Ant Computing, software components are modeled as "ants" that perform tasks and communicate through simple rules, such as pheromone trails or message passing. These agents collaborate to achieve global objectives, like optimizing routes in a network or scheduling tasks efficiently. The system's strength lies in its scalability, robustness, and ability to handle dynamic environments, making it particularly useful for solving large-scale, distributed problems in areas like logistics, network management, and machine learning.
