Applied Swarm Intelligence | 1:a upplagan

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.
