Comparison of Desynchronization Methods for a Decentralized Swarm on a Logistical Resupply Problem.

In this work, we investigate the impact of two approaches to agent desynchronization on task allocation in decentralized swarms: variation in response threshold and variation in response duration. We focus on swarms consisting of simple threshold-based stimulus response agents and examine how they respond to dynamically changing task demands in a logistics re-supply problem.
