Swarm Intelligence

Adaptive systems answer this challenge by progressively modifying

population structures, using a set of operators that themselves evolve

(adapt) over time. These adaptive processes drastically shorten the time

required to arrive at a solution when compared with enumerative meth-

ods that must explore significant portions of the problem space. In sum-

mary, from the perspective of computer science and engineering, adapta-

tion is arguably the most appropriate term for what computational

intelligence systems do. In fact, it is not too much of a stretch to say that,

in computer science and engineering, computational intelligence and sys-

tem adaptation are ...
