Abstract

Nature teaches us how the collaboration between the members of a herd is an important aspect to ensure their survival as a group. Collaboration requires communication, but it may happen that it could not be established for some reason. In this context, members of the herd have to make decisions on its own, trying to do the best for the group. Inspired by this principle, we have designed a method to overcome the communication difficulties of the environment. The team members compete using their own made decisions, this competition affects on the best possible way to the team benefit.
