Ants in your P2Pants

Posted by michael on from the riaa-kills-ants-dead dept.

Tim Finin writes: "Anthill is a framework being developed at University of Bologna to support the design, implementation and evaluation of P2P applications, viewing them as instances of Complex Adaptive Systems, typically found in biological and social sciences. In Anthill, desired properties such as resilience, adaptation and self-organization correspond to the "emergent behavior" of the underlying CA system. An Anthill system consists of a dynamic network of peer nodes; societies of adaptive agents (ants) travel through this network, interacting with nodes and cooperating with other agents in order to solve complex problems. The source code for Anthill v1.0 is available for downloading. MORE on this is at ebiquity.org."

    From my web browser client to the Slashdot server (talk about P2P in action!), I gatta say, this is the lamest, most boring story I have read on Slashdot in the 18 years I have been using the Internet.

      It seems to me that you haven't lived yet for 18 years, let alone used the net for so long. Slashdot was born in '97, so what's the point? Besides the most boring articles are those JonKatz crap film reviews.

    It has to happen sooner or later - someone leaves a pot of sugar by the router and next thing you know you have waaay too many virtual ants on a sugar rush.

    Did you even consider using scientific notation and significant digits in your calculations? It would have made you seem like less of a dork. Or did you just make all of that shit up?
