The book analyzes new methodologies involved in studying swarm intelligence. It brings together computer scientists and cognitive scientists dealing with swarm patterns from social bacteria to human beings. Topics include swarm computing, soldier crabs computing, social insects computing, ad hoc and sensor wireless network, bio-molecular computing.
Andrew Schumann obtained his MSc (1998) and PhD (2003) degrees in Philosophy from Belarusian State University, Minsk, Belarus. After graduating, he was an Associate Professor at the Belarusian State University, Belarus, and is currently the Head of the Department of Cognitive Science and Mathematical Modeling, University of Information Technology and Management, Rzeszow, Poland. He participated in the project Physarum Chip: Growing Computers from Slime Mould supported by the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7-ICT-2011-8). He has authored books such as Behaviourism in Studying Swarms (2019) and Talmudic Logic (2012) as well as numerous papers.
