Its basic processes are much simpler than those usually used to model human-level cognition.Thus it is an attractive way to coordinate agents in engineered environments such as robotics or information processing. Stigmergiccoordination is not limited to insects. Humans regularly use environmentally-mediated signals to coordinate their activities.This paper develops a schema for analyzing stigmergy among humans, discusses examples (some using a computational environmentand others antedating digital computation), and suggests how the use of such mechanisms may be extended.
