Abstract
In the last decennium, particle swarms have received considerable attention in
the fields of optimization and control. Inspired by swarms of social animals,
such as birds, fish, and termites, simple behavior on the local level has been
shown to result in useful complex behavior on the global level. Particle Swarm
Optimization has proven to be a very powerful optimization heuristic, and swarm
aggregation based on artificial potential fields enjoys a growing interest for
controlling particles in a swarm. Especially the flexibility, scalability, and
robustness to errors on a local level are intrinsic properties of swarms that
have attracted the interest of researchers in applying swarm technology to
various problems. In this contribution, we present an overview of the
application of particle swarms for optimization and control of swarm
aggregation.
