    • Ant-inspired density estimation via random walks 

      Musco, Cameron Nicholas; Su, Hsin-Hao; Lynch, Nancy Ann (National Academy of Sciences (U.S.), 2017-10)
      Many ant species use distributed population density estimation in applications ranging from quorum sensing, to task allocation, to appraisal of enemy colony strength. It has been shown that ants estimate local population ...

    • Computational tradeoffs in biological neural networks: Self-stabilizing winner-Take-All networks 

      Lynch, Nancy Ann; Musco, Cameron Nicholas; Parter, Merav (2017)
      We initiate a line of investigation into biological neural networks from an algorithmic perspective. We develop a simplified but biologically plausible model for distributed computation in stochastic spiking neural networks ...

    • Distributed House-Hunting in Ant Colonies 

      Ghaffari, Mohsen; Musco, Cameron Nicholas; Radeva, Tsvetomira T.; Lynch, Nancy Ann (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2015-07)
      We introduce the study of the ant colony house-hunting problem from a distributed computing perspective. When an ant colony's nest becomes unsuitable due to size constraints or damage, the colony relocates to a new nest. ...
