CHAPTER 6
Bioinspired Computing: Swarm Intelligence
Brains exist because the distribution of resources necessary for survival and the hazards that threaten survival vary in space and time.
—John M. Allman, Evolving Brains
Natural systems solve multifaceted problems using simple rules, and exhibit organized, complex, and intelligent behavior. Natural process control systems are adaptive, evolutionary, distributed (decentralized), reactive, and aware of their environment. Bioinspired computing (or biologically inspired computing) is a field of study that draws its inspiration from the sophistication of the natural world in adapting to environmental ...
