optimization - Swarm Intelligence - what kinds of problems are effectively solved? -
i looking practical problem (or implementations, applications) examples algoritmized using swarm intelligence. found multicriteria optimization 1 example. there others?
imho swarm-intelligence should added tags
are looking toy problems or more real-world applications?
in latter category know variants on swarm intelligence algorithms used in hollywood cgi animations such large (animated) armies riding fields of battle.
related more towards toy-problem end of spectrum can model large crowds similar algorithms, , use example simulate disaster-scenarios. afaik dutch institute tno has research groups on topic, though couldn't find english link googling.
one suggestion place start further investigation pdf book:
http://www.cs.vu.nl/~schut/dbldot/collectivae/sci/sci.pdf
that book has appendix (b) sample projects try , work on.
if want head start there several frameworks (scientific use) multi-agent systems such swarming intelligence (most of 'em written java think). of them include sample apps too. example have @ these:
