Inspiration for optimization from social insect behaviour
E. Bonabeau1,2, M. Dorigo3 & G. Theraulaz4
Abstract
Research in social insect behaviour has provided computer scientists with powerful methods for designing distributed control and optimization algorithms. These techniques are being applied successfully to a variety of scientific and engineering problems. In addition to achieving good performance on a wide spectrum of 'static' problems, such techniques tend to exhibit a high degree of flexibility and robustness in a dynamic environment.
