Description
Throughout time, scientists have looked to nature in order to understand and model solutions for complex real-world problems. In particular, the study of self-organizing entities, such as social insect populations, presents a new opportunity within the field of artificial intelligence.
Emerging Research on Swarm Intelligence and Algorithm Optimization discusses current research analyzing how the collective behavior of decentralized systems in the natural world can be applied to intelligent system design. Discussing the application of swarm principles, optimization techniques, and key algorithms being used in the field, this publication serves as an essential reference for academicians, upper-level students, IT developers, and IT theorists.
Reviews and Testimonials
This book is a collection of papers published between 2011 and 2012 analyzing how the behavior of complex natural decentralized collective systems, such as an ant colony, can be applied to artificial intelligence algorithms. As digital matrices become more and more complex, researchers are looking to these swarm intelligences to model new systems. Intended for graduate students and swarm intelligence researchers, this book looks at examples of artificial swarm intelligences and explores how these artificial swarm algorithms can be used for such things as wireless sensor routing, recommendation of web pages, robotic team organization, and image selection applications.
