Abstract
The definition of, and basic principles of, swarm intelligence are first discussed. Application areas are listed. Three swarm intelligence paradigm examples are reviewed: cultural algorithms, ant colony optimization, and particle swarm optimization. Tracking and optimizing dynamic systems with swarms is discussed. Recent applications are summarized: unmanned air vehicle mission planning, putting a person in the swarm using an NK landscape game, and optimizing resource allocation. Measuring swarm population diversity, and using non-parametric statistics for performance metrics are reviewed. Finally, recent accomplishments of the swarm intelligence field, and challenges being faced by the field, are outlined.

Speaker Bio
Russell C. Eberhart is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). He is also Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of Computelligence LLC, Indianapolis, Indiana. He received his Ph.D. from Kansas State University in electrical engineering. He is co-editor of a book on neural networks, and co-author of Computational Intelligence PC Tools, published in 1996 by Academic Press. He is co-author of a book with Jim Kennedy and Yuhui Shi entitled Swarm Intelligence, published by Morgan Kaufmann/Academic Press in April 2001. He was awarded the IEEE Third Millenium Medal. In 2001, he became a Fellow of the IEEE, and in 2002 he became a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. He is the co-author, with Yuhui Shi, of a book entitled Computational Intelligence: Concepts to Implementations, published by Morgan Kaufmann/Elsevier in 2007. His areas of research include swarm intelligence and extended analog computing, and the analysis of sleepy and inattentive driving.
