An interdisciplinary survey of collective problem-solving
Edited by Andrew Schumann, this volume brings computer science and cognitive science into conversation around swarm intelligence: coordinated behavior emerging across systems from social bacteria and insects to human groups. Its scope is methodological as well as topical, examining ways researchers study swarm patterns while surveying computational models and applications. Chapters address swarm computing, soldier crab and social-insect computing, wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, and biomolecular computing. The book positions collective behavior as a shared area of inquiry across biological systems, networks, and computation.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Computer science readers interested in swarm-based computation
- Students and researchers exploring collective behavior across biology and cognition
- Readers studying wireless networks or biomolecular computing
