SPRINGERBRIEFS IN COMPLEXITY DESIGN AND CONTR...

The book is about the key elements required for designing  building and controlling effective
artificial swarms comprised of multiple moving physical agents. Therefore this book presents
the fundamentals of each of those key elements in the particular frame of dynamic swarming 
specifically exposing the profound connections between these elements and establish some
general design principles for swarming behaviors. This scientific endeavor requires an
inter-disciplinary approach: biomimetic inspiration from ethology and ecology  study of social
information flow  analysis of temporal and adaptive signaling network of interaction 
considerations of control of networked real-time systems  and lastly  elements of complex
adaptive dynamical systems. This book offers a completely new perspective on the scientific
understanding of dynamic collective behaviors thanks to its multi-disciplinary approach and its
focus on artificial swarm of physical agents. Two of the key problems in understanding the
emergence of swarm intelligent behaviors are identifying the social interaction rules a.k.a.
the behavioral algorithm and uncovering how information flows between swarming agents. While
most books about swarm dynamics have been focusing on the former  this book emphasizes the
much-less discussed topic of distributed information flow  always with the aim of establishing
general design principles.
