Distributed control can, in principle, have advantages in terms of speed of response and robustness over centralised control, but these benefits are not realised automatically and distribution of control can also result in sub-optimal performance since global information is not normally available to each controlling process.

Web-agents inspired by ethology: a population of "ant"-like agents to help finding user-oriented information
12 Citations2004A. Revel
A Web-search ant-agent inspired by ethology and robotics is presented and its implementation on a set of FIPAOS platforms is detailed and useful results in route finding and rerouting are shown.
Performances analysis in collective systems
4 Citations2002Olivier Simonin, Jacques Ferber +1 more
The study proposes a method to compute the global performances of collective systems given the behaviour of agents, the environment and the kind of events that can happen, and consists of modelling the system with the right level of description.
