This paper investigates the performance of self-organizing bioparticles for multi-target detection and gravitation problems. This paper describes three approaches to multi-target detection and gravitation problems in which bioparticles coordinate their behavior by secreting (1) attractants, (2) repellents or (3) both attractants and repellents. We first define the behavior of bioparticles in these approaches by using differential equations. We then show numerical results to understand the basic behavior of bioparticles in each approach and to demonstrate optimized performance for multi-target detection and gravitation problems.
