Swarm Intelligence

• These work with swarms of agents.
• An example is the ant colony work.
• The idea is that partial solutions are found by simple individuals, and complete good solutions emerge from their behaviour.
• An example is the travelling salesman problem.
• Ants find small solutions, and leave a trail of where they've been.
• This makes other ants follow those partial solutions, and a good complete solution emerges.
• This can be used for packet routing.
• It also starts to fold into games relatively easily.
