The literature is now filled with swarm intelligence algorithms developed by taking
inspiration from a number of insects and other animals and phenomena, such as ants …

Recent studies have demonstrated that evolution can be observed in a few dozen
generations, especially when species occupy a new ecological opportunity due to …

Within the mind, there are a myriad of ideas that make sense within the bounds of everyday
experience, but are not reflective of how the world actually exists; this is particularly true in …

Over the last decades, the number of Swarm Intelligence algorithms proposed in the
