Swarms and Network Intelligence in Search

• Introduction to Swarm Search.- Cooperative “Swarm Cleaning” of Stationary Domains.- Swarm Search of Expanding Regions in Grids: Lower Bounds.- Swarm Search of Expanding Regions in Grids: Upper Bounds.- The Search Complexity of Collaborative Swarms Expanding Z2 Grid Regions.

“The book is a solid attempt to formally characterize the properties of domains and the swarms of robots operating in them. The algorithms are often described with figures that show sample environments and how the operations progress over time. This provides a good understanding of how the algorithms work.” (M. Gini, Computing Reviews, January, 2019)​
