Swarm intelligence (SI) is an innovative distributed intelligent paradigm whereby the collective behaviors of unsophisticated individuals interacting locally with their environment cause coherent functional global patterns to emerge. The intelligence emerges from a chaotic balance between individuality and sociality. The chaotic balances are a characteristic feature of the complex system. This ...

Swarm intelligence is a research branch that models the population of interacting agents or swarms that are able to self-organize. An ant colony, a flock of birds or an immune system is a typical example of a swarm system. Bees’ swarming around their hive is another example of swarm intelligence. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent behavio...

-The social insect allegory for working out problems has become a promising area in the recent years emphasizing on stochastic construction practice building the key probabilistically. The approach focuses on direct or indirect communications among uncomplicated agents. Swarm Intelligence is the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized system whereby the joint behavior of agent inte...

ven with today's ever-increasing computing power, there are still many types of problems that are very difficult to solve. Particularly, combinatorial optimization problems continue to pose challenges. An example of this type of problem can be found in product design. Take as an example the design of an automobile based on the attributes of engine horsepower, passenger seating, body style, and ...

In this chapter, the current work on swarm robotics is briefly reviewed. Swarm robotics, inspired from nature swarm, is a combination of swarm intelligence and robotic, and shows great potential in several aspects. Firstly of all, the cooperation in nature swarm and swarm intelligence is briefly introduced, and the special features of the swarm robotics compared with single robot and other mult...

Ant Colonies (or Swarm Intelligence) and Self-Organizing Maps (a type of unsupervised Neural Network) have become two important and powerful classification heuristics in computer science and artificial intelligence. After first describing each model, a hybrid is introduced that has the visual appeal of swarm intelligence and the efficiency of self-organizing maps.

Swarm intelligence has been successfully applied in various domains, e.g., path planning, resource allocation and data mining. Despite its wide use, a theoretical framework in which the behavior of swarm intelligence can be formally understood is still lacking. This article starts by formally deriving the evolutionary dynamics of ant colony optimization, an important swarm intelligence algorith...

Evolutionary algorithm and Swarm Intelligence algorithm (EA, SI), a part of Bio inspired optimization algorithm, have been widely used to solve numerous optimization problem in various science and engineering domains. This paper proposes a Multi Swarm Particle Swarm Optimization (MS-PSO) algorithm inspired by the animal collective behavior, the movement of the swarm and the intelligence of the ...
