Stochastic Diffusion Search (SDS), first incepted in 1989, belongs to the extended family of Swarm Intelligence algorithms. In contrast to many nature-inspired algorithms, SDS has a strong mathematical framework describing its behaviour and convergence. In addition to concisely exploring the algorithm in the context of natural swarm intelligence systems, this paper reviews the developments of t...

Many problems in Ad-Hoc network is divided as an optimization problem such as consumption in energy, localization, routing, use of nodes in effective way. To solve these problems set of routing algorithm have been developed based on swarm intelligence. Ant colony algorithm is based on the behavior of ants in swarm intelligence. To enhance the communication we use different protocols and also lo...

This paper presents a swarm intelligence based approach for optimal scheduling in sensor networks. Sensors are characterized by their transaction times and interdependencies. In the presence of interdependencies the problem of optimal scheduling to minimize the overall transaction/response time is modeled as a graph partitioning problem. Graph partitioning problem is a well known NPcomplete pro...

We posit that swarm intelligence can be applied to effectively address requirements engineering problems. Specifically, this paper demonstrates the applicability of swarm intelligence to the requirements tracing problem using two techniques: a simple swarm algorithm and a pheromone swarm algorithm. The techniques have been validated using two real-world datasets from two problem domains. The si...

Clustering represents the large datasets by a structured well defined number of clusters or prototypes. K-Means is a useful technique to data clustering which partitions the data into K-Clusters. However, the results of k-means algorithm are based on the selection of initial seeds and converge to local optimum solution. The Swarm Intelligence (SI) is an algorithm to apply many simple agents beh...

This paper presents a novel swarm intelligence inspired routing algorithm (EARA) for mobile ad hoc networks. Based on the understanding of the evolutionary cooperation in the biological swarm, which provides an alternative solution resilient against changes in the dynamic environment, We use the principle of swarm intelligence for the reinforcement of optimal routes with only local communicatio...

Iztok Fister Jr.,∗ Dušan Fister,† and Xin-She Yang‡ Abstract Swarm intelligence is a very powerful technique to be used for optimization purposes. In this paper we present a new swarm intelligence algorithm, based on the bat algorithm. The Bat algorithm is hybridized with differential evolution strategies. Besides showing very promising results of the standard benchmark functions, this hybridiz...

Swarm intelligence is a research field that models the collective intelligence in swarms of insects or animals. Many algorithms that simulates these models have been proposed in order to solve a wide range of problems. The Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is one of the most recent swarm intelligence based algorithms which simulates the foraging behaviour of honey bee colonies. In this work, modi...
