Abstract: Swarm engineering is the development of a swarm of cooperating agents commensurate to some criterion designed to produce a global outcome. Once the swarm has satised this criterion, it will accomplish the desired task. We present a theoretical formalism for understanding how swarm-based TSP optimization algorithms work. We generate a swarm criterion and show that two of the algorithms of Marco Dorigo satisfy these conditions, but to diering degrees. Finally, we present a new method of... (Update)
