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.Understanding Complex Systems,2191-5326Computational complexityStatistical physicsDynamical systemsControl engineeringComplexityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022Complex Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33000Control and Systems Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T19010Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19090Computational complexity.Statistical physics.Dynamical systems.Control engineering.Complexity.Complex Systems.Control and Systems Theory.Statistical Physics and Dynamical Systems.302.3Bouffanais Rolandauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut788067MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254212503321Design and Control of Swarm Dynamics1756532UNINA
