RODE: Learning Roles to Decompose Multi-Agent Tasks (2020, background): “Many natural systems feature emergent roles, such as ants (Gordon, 1996), bees (Jeanson et al., 2005), and humans (Butler, 2012).”

Age polyethism in the leaf‐cutting ant Acromyrmex subterraneus brunneus Forel, 1911 (Hym., Formicidae) (2007, background): “It seems that the pattern of interactions that a worker experimented with earlier is more important than a particular message or cue transferred in each interaction (Gordon 1996).”
A swarm optimization algorithm inspired in the behavior of the social-spider (2013, background): “The collaborative swarming behavior observed in these groups provides survival advantages, where insect aggregations of relatively simple and ‘‘unintelligent’’ individuals can accomplish very complex tasks using only limited local information and simple rules of behavior (Gordon, 2003).”
Opportunities for multiagent systems and multiagent reinforcement learning in traffic control (2009, background): “Each intersection (plus its traffic signals) behaves like a social insect that grounds its decision-making on mass recruitment mechanisms found in social insects [34,64].”
Personality in social insects: How does worker personality determine colony personality? (2012, background): “The allocation of workers to various tasks depends on external cues, such as interactions among ants and changes in the environment (Gordon, 1996), and on internal cues such as morphology (Oster and Wilson, 1978) and gene expression (Ben-Shahar et al.”
The Emergence of Individuality in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (2020, background): “Individuality induces the division of labor [2], which improves the productivity and efficiency of human society.”
