Swarm Intelligence: Theory and Applied Principles

Swarm Intelligence is the field of research related to the study of emergent cumulative intelligence of self-organized and decentralized elementary agents. It is based on social behavior that can be seen in nature, like fish schools and bee hives, where numerous individuals with confined capabilities are able to formulate intelligent solutions for complicated problems. The community of computer science has already understood the significance of emergent behaviors of complex problem solving. This book describes latest developments in this field, primarily on novel swarm-based enhancement techniques and hybrid algorithms for numerous applications. The aim of this book is to educate the readers about the technical as well as theoretical applications and aspects of Swarm Intelligence.
