"Applied Swarm Intelligence

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the tools and techniques used today for designing and modeling of efficient and robust swarm-intelligence based systems: highly (or fully) decentralized semi-autonomous highly-scalable infrastructures in various real-life scenarios. Among others the book reviews the use of the swarm intelligence paradigm in financial investment blockchain protocols design shared transportation systems communication networks bioinformatics and military applications. Theoretical and practical limitations of such systems as well as trade-offs between the various economic and operational parameters of the systems are discussed. The book is intended for researchers and engineers in the fields of swarm systems economics agriculture nutrition and operation research. |Applied Swarm Intelligence
