Modeling Security Software To Mimic Ant Behavior

[sl4shd0t]

wiredmikey writes "Researchers from universities and national laboratories in the United States are developing software that mimics ant behavior, as a new approach to network security." The concept has been around for a while, but this summer researchers are working to train the "digital ants" well enough that they can turn them loose into the power grid to seek out computer viruses trying to wreak havoc on the system.http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F11%2F06%2F01%2F1513201%2FModeling-Security-Software-To-Mimic-Ant-Behavior%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfa cebook) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Modeling+Security+Software+To+Mimic+An t+Behavior%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fm49yYE)
