swarm intelligence

n
1. (Biology) the collective behaviour of a group of animals, esp social insects such as ants, bees, and termites, that are each following very basic rules
2. (Computer Science) an artificial-intelligence approach to problem solving using algorithms based on the self-organized collective behaviour of social insects
