Abstract:

This paper is a review of recent researches 
about Swarm Intelligence (SI) in animals and humans.
SI is a intelligent collective behavior which may be able to 
solve cognitive problems that is difficult to solve for an individual.
Because SI is a kind of buzz word, 
more quantitative and theoretical researches about SI is needed.
In this paper, authors introduce a general definition of SI
and try to establish clear criteria for SI.
I would like to discuss about possibility of mathematical research of SI.
