Swarm Intelligence: Theoretical Proof that Empirical Techniques are Optimal
Conference Paper, Proceedings of 5th Biannual World Automation Congress, pp. 107 - 112, June, 2002
Abstract
A natural way to distribute tasks between autonomous agents is to use swarm intelligence techniques, which simulate the way social insects (such as wasps) distribute tasks between themselves. In this paper, we theoretically prove that the corresponding successful biologically inspired formulas are indeed statistically optimal (in some reasonable sense).
