request rate drops at 16:30, many agents die due to energy starvation. This result
demonstrates that the biologically inspired mechanisms in SymbioticSphere allow
agents to adaptively adjust their availability to dynamic network conditions such as
demand volume, spike ratio, and network size. Figure 19.31 also shows that agent
population follows workload changes better ...
