Swarm intelligence: Applications, Research, Art & Products

Swarm intelligence (SI) is the collective behavior of decentralized, self-organized systems, natural or artificial. The concept is employed in work on artificial intelligence. The expression was introduced by Jing Wang and Gerardo Beni in 1989, in the context of cellular robotic systems.
