Outline of Final Research Achievements

"Multi-layered emergent hierarchical structure" is important when constructing smart grid, ambient information infrastructure, and next-generation information social infrastructure system for which urgent development and operation are necessary. Therefore, the main objective of this study is proposition of mechanism that the lower layer emergents upper layer by bottom-up approach.
We proposed a method based on ACO which is representative of collective intelligent method which enables autonomous hierarchical structure extraction from data including hierarchical time series pattern. Embedded hierarchical structure can be extracted through simple coordination of large number of autonomous agents.
