Abstract

We propose a novel, information theoretic characterization of dynamics within swarms, through explicitly measuring the extent of collective communications and tracing collectivememory. These elements of distributed computation provide complementary views into the capacity for swarm coherence and reorganization. The approach deals with both global and local information dynamics ultimately discovering diverse ways in which an individual’s location within the group is related to its information processing role.
