Properties of a Swarm Intelligence System The typical swarm intelligence system has the following properties: it is composed of many individuals; ï½¥the individuals are relatively homogeneous (i.e., they are either all identical or they belong to a few typologies); ï½¥the interactions among the individuals are based on simple behavioral rules that exploit only local information that the individuals exchange directly or via the environment (stigmergy); ï½¥the overall behavior of the system results from the interactions of individuals with each other and with their environment, that is, the group behavior self-organizes. ------------- Characterizing Property is its ability to act in a coordinated way without the presence of a coordinator or of an external controller. Notwithstanding the lack of individuals in charge of the group, the swarm as a whole can show an intelligent behavior This is the result of the interaction of spatially neighboring individuals that act on the basis of simple rules. Most often, the behavior of each individual of the swarm is described in probabilistic terms: Each individual has a stochastic behavior that depends on his local perception of the neighborhood. cs.auckland.ac.nz/courses/compsci760s2c/lectures/Pat.d/2013.d/760-swarm.pdf __________________
