Swarm Intelligence and Applications

Swarm intelligence is the result of observing nature where we see
swarms in the form of bee hives, ant colonies, chemical structures,
physical particles. In all these cases, these small tiny entities
interact and work together producing an intelligent behavior from
simple rules.
In recent years, there has been an expansion in using swarm
intelligence in a number of ways. First, swarms used as a simulation
tool for sociological and ecological studies. This perhaps their first
real application. Second, a number of optimization algorithms based on
swarms emerged, e.g. Ant Colony Optimization and Particle Swarm
Optimization. Third, nano-technology advances increased the interest
in hardware swarms, i.e. nano-robots, and software swarms, e.g. to
simulate bio-chemical structures and their physical properties before
attempting to create them in the labs. Finally, swarms are social
structures that fascinated artists, e.g. cellular automata and pixel
hives.
This seminar will explore swarm intelligence as a current and active
trend in artificial intelligence community. A brief history and themes
of swarm intelligence will be covered, then the main application areas
will be discussed. Some on-going projects at De Montfort University
Intelligent Mobile Robots group will be discussed. The seminar will
conclude by identifying some areas of growth in swarm intelligence
especially those related to complex systems.
