                                     Abstract
   Swarm  intelligence  (SI)  is based on collective behavior of self-organized
   systems.   Typical   swarm   intelligence  schemes  include  particle  swarm
   optimization  (PSO),  ant  colony  system (ACS), stochastic diffusion search
   (SDS),  bacteria  foraging  (BF),  the  bees algorithm, swarm robotics, etc.
   Besides  the  applications  to conventional optimization problems, SI can be
   used   in  controlling  robots  and  unmanned  vehicles,  predicting  social
   behaviors,  enhancing  the  telecommunication  and  computer  networks, etc.
   Indeed,  the use of swarm optimization can be applied to a variety of fields
   in  engineering  and  social  sciences.   This  talk  reviews  some  popular
   algorithms  in the field of swarm intelligence for problems of optimization.
   The  overview  and  experiments  of  Particle  Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant
   Colony System (ACS) and Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO) are given. The parallel
   versions  of  ACS,  PSO  and  CSO  are  also  introduced.  In addition, some
   comparisons are made between these algorithms.

   Taiwan.  He  has  published  more  than  400  papers in which 120 papers are
   indexed  by  SCI. He is the IET Fellow, UK and the Vice Chair of IEEE Tainan
   Section.  He  was  Awarded  Gold Prize in the International Micro Mechanisms
   Contest  held in Tokyo, Japan in 2010. He was also awarded Gold Medal in the
   Pittsburgh Invention & New Product Exposition (INPEX) in 2010, Gold Medal in
   the  International Exhibition of Geneva Inventions in 2011 and Gold Medal of
   the  IENA,  International  “Ideas  –  Inventions – New products“, Nuremberg,
   Germany.  He  was  offered  Thousand-Elite-Project  in  China.  He is on the
   editorial   board   of   International   Journal  of  Innovative  Computing,
   Information  and  Control,  LNCS  Transactions on Data Hiding and Multimedia
   Security,  Journal  of  Computers  and  Journal  of  Information  Hiding and
   Multimedia  Signal  Processing.  His current research interests include soft
   computing, robot vision and cloud computing.
