Abstract
Army ants performs the altruism, in which an ant sacrifices its own well-being for the benefit of another ants. We developed the multi agent system of army ants. A kind of altruism is appeared in the simulation results of the system which has 2 kinds of ant agents, `Major ant' and `Minor ant'. Ants communicate with each other pheromones. The pheromones evaporate at a ratio and diffused into the space of neighbors. The other ants can recognize them as the signals from the other ants. In this paper, the distribution of diffusion is performed on a stochastic function. This paper describes the performing altruism of ant based multi agent system.
