The increasing
complexity of the current world can be observed each day. Sustainable
development for example consists of economical and social systems
management within natural environment. The understanding of the whole leads
to what we call territorial intelligence. The way of modelling these
complex systems is often based on interactive networks, dealing with the
interconnection between all of the system components. Decision making on
this complex world, need tools able to detect and manage emergent organizations
through these networks. Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) is the
adapted conceptual trend which allows the proposal of some relevant
solutions by relying on social and physical sciences models exhibited and
observed in nature (e.g. ant colonies, molecular crystallisation, etc.). In
this search and management of emerging organization, swarm intelligence
algorithms proved to be popular and effective methods to use. On the
technological front, the increasing number of robotic systems, advances in
nano technology, and the sheer complexity of modern enterprise systems,
especially those boosting high degree of autonomy, makes the development of
swarm intelligence timely and needed.
