The majority of current studies use teams composed of agents with identical control rules ("genetically homogeneous teams") and select behavior at the team level ("team-level selection"). ...
As the number of interacting agents in a team grows, or when agent behaviors become more sophisticated, the design of suitable control rules rapidly becomes very complex. ...
