Swarms of mobile software agents, imitating the behavior of insects, can solve complex tasks. Such agents individually have simple behavior. However, as a collective unit, constructive behavior emerges, as it does in insect colonies. We intend to investigate distributed computing in a heterogeneous network using bio-inspired techniques. The system should be adaptive and completely distributed. It should perform dynamic, event-driven load balancing. Every node of the network should be capable of producing new events and introducing them into the network for computation. The architecture should be used as a general support for clustering and task allocation applications.
