7.1 Introduction
Swarm-based algorithms are inspired by the behavior of some social living beings, such as ants, termites, birds, and fishes. Self-organization and decentralized control are remarkable features of swarm-based systems that, such as in nature, lead to an emergent behavior. Emergent behavior is a property that emerges through local interactions among system components and it is not possible to ...
