1.1 Swarm Intelligence Algorithms (SIAs)

Swarm intelligence is the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems. A typical swarm intelligence system consists of a population of simple agents which can communicate (either directly or indirectly) locally with each other by acting on their local environment. Though the agents in a swarm follow very simple rules, the interactions between such agents can lead to the emergence of very complicated global behavior, far beyond the capability of individual agents [54, 55]. Examples in natural systems of swarm ...
