3 Survey on New Swarm Intelligence Algorithms

DOI: 10.1201/9781003090038-3

3.1 Introduction

Swarm intelligence [1] is a branch of artificial intelligence that deals with group of mobile agents such as ants, fish, flock, herds, etc., that collectively find solution of optimization problem through some direct or indirect form of communication [2]. The population of mobile agents are homogeneous and randomly initialized in the search space while their movement is controlled with respect to the best search agent in the environment. Swarm intelligence algorithms have experienced a tremendous growth in providing solution for optimization problems over the last three decades. These algorithms exploit the natural phenomenon of animals and plants ...
