"Models of self-organization and collective intelligence can use ant colonies as the inspiration..." #readingToday

Computer simulations and mathematical models show how networks operate and how we can use networks to make robots and computers do things for us. Models of self-organization and collective intelligence can use ant colonies as the inspiration for solutions to engineering problems that require groups of component parts to interact to perform a task—for example, getting a group of robots to move around on Mars taking photos, exploring links on a website to recommend products based on past purchases, or organizing a telecommunications system.
