What is swarm intelligence?
Swarm intelligence algorithms are a subset of evolutionary algorithms that were discussed in chapter 5 and are also known as nature-inspired algorithms. As with the theory of evolution, the observation of the behavior of life forms in nature is the inspiration for the concepts behind swarm intelligence. When we observe the world around us, we see many life forms that are seemingly primitive and unintelligent as individuals, yet exhibit intelligent emergent behavior when acting ...
