Abstract

In order to propose some evaluation of adaptive architectural patterns for intelligent distributed systems, in this paper we present a case study where a swarm of robots is required to coordinate and adapt to perform a task. We will present the results of several simulations and propose some considerations that help further research about adaptive patterns in intelligent distributed systems.
