Abstract

Swarm Intelligence: Studies and Application

Vahid Sanei

Swarm intelligence is that the discipline that deals with natural and artificial systems composed of the various individuals that coordinate using decentralized control and self-organization. In particular, the discipline focuses on the collective behaviours that result from the local interactions of the individuals with each other and with their environment. Examples of systems studied by swarm intelligence are colonies of ants and termites, schools of fish, flocks of birds, herds of land animals. Some human artifacts also fall under the domain of swarm intelligence, notably some multi-robot systems, and also certain computer programs that are written to tackle optimization and data analysis problems.
