Abstract
Swarm is a complex system with a population of autonomous individuals. With local interactions of these individuals, their behaviors can be assembled and a kind of “swarm intelligence” can be emerged, which is unknown to the individuals. In nature, swarm intelligence has shown many surprising functions and caused interests and attentions from scientists and researchers. Swarm Intelligence Optimization(SIO) is a kind of intelligent algorithms Inspired from social species, e.g. flocks of birds, colony of ants, school of fish, through the cooperation and competition among individuals to solve real-world complex problems. Therefore, the social relationship and social communication among these social species, might cause great contribution to the efficiency of the algorithm. The presentation will mainly focus on the state-of-arts of swarm intelligence Optimization and applications. It will briefly introduce the concept of swarm intelligence Optimization, summarize the basic features of social networks. Then, the new algorithm, Social network based Swarm Optimization Algorithm, will be discussed both mathematically and physically. Several experiments will be analyzed. At the end several cases will be discussed and the applications will be explored to show that the algorithm is successful.
