Potential Building Blocks for the Creation of Generic Swarm Intelligence Ontologies
Author(s): Colin Chibaya*
Swarm Intelligence Ontology (SIO) captures concepts, policies, rules, and processes within a specific swarm
intelligence domain. It sets the relationships between the concepts, policies, rules, and the processes of a swarm
intelligence model to visualize interconnections. To create a generic SIO, a deep understanding of probable building
blocks from various inspiring swarm control models is required. Precisely, meticulous comprehension of how swarms
of robotic devices are designed, configured, and coordinated is apparently required. Two arms of prospective building
blocks for creating generic SIOs are identified in the literature.
On the one hand, non-interactive swarm control models are prevalent, consisting of mathematics-based, physicsinspired,
and elitist robotic devices. On the other hand, interactive swarm control models dominate, commonly built
