Simulating co-evolution with mimetism

This paper describes a computational model of autonomous organisms coevolving with a mimetic behavior. We discuss the role and importance of mimetism in swarm intelligence and how our program may be used to study it. This program has been tested when simulating traffic on a two dimensional road where each car is an autonomous unit imitating the other cars and being imitated by them. This experience clearly showed an improvement in the cars' perfomances due to their mimetic behavior.
