Abstract Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic that is inspired by the pheromone
trail laying and following behavior of some ant species. Artificial ants in ACO are stochastic …

Inspired by swarm intelligence observed in social species, the artificial self-organized
networking (SON) systems are expected to exhibit some intelligent features (eg, flexibility …

Swarm intelligence is a relatively new approach to problem solving that takes inspiration
from the social behaviors of insects and of other animals. In particular, ants have inspired a …

Swarm intelligence is a relatively novel field. It addresses the study of the collective
behaviors of systems made by many components that coordinate using decentralized …

Recent developments in information technology have brought about important changes in
distributed computing. New environments such as massively large-scale, wide-area …

Optimization problems frequently appear in any scientific domain. Most of the times, the
corresponding decision problem turns out to be NP-hard, and in these cases genetic …

The Internet of Things equips citizens with a phenomenal new means for online participation
