Swarm Computing, a Swarm, a Flock

 

Fish, birds, insects, bats, people, computers, and some products act in concert with the specific rules and patterns they obey. Scientists, engineers, and artists investigate swarms in a thorough way. Everything depends on behavior performed at the individual or social level. Knowledge about natural settings and group actions provides solutions for software managers, corporate world executives, materials science specialists, and computing wizards; they serve for creating models, simulations, and visualizations of environments under analysis.

Lots of research has been conducted about groups of entities that share common behavior, from ants, bees, and birds to social networking groups. In result, many groups with their hierarchies, dependencies, leading forces, and a common outcome of their activities have been presented, and the products, a thought, philosophy, organization, structure, and a group belief were defined. The interesting parts might be seen as a space displaying repetition, symmetry, balance, focus, and dominance.
