To flock or not to flock: the pros and cons of flocking in long-range "migration" of mobile robot swarms

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2009
This study investigates the pros and cons of flocking in long-range "migration" of mobile robot swarms under the influence of different factors. We present a flocking behavior consisting of three simple behaviors: heading alignment, proximal control, and alignment to the desired homing direction.

The geometry of flocking

Proceedings of the twenty-sixth annual symposium on Computational geometry, 2010
The convergence time for flocking in the Vicsek-Cucker-Smale model is known to be bounded by a tower-of-twos of height linear in the number of birds. We improve the height to logarithmic, which matches the known lower bound. In the process, we introduce an intriguing geometric object, the "flight net", and develop the idea of a "virtual agent." These ...

Particles That Flock

Scientific American, 2011
The article discusses research by scientists at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, trying to determine why some particles created by proton collisions appear to be synchronizing their flight paths.

How backyard poultry flocks influence the effort required to curtail avian influenza epidemics in commercial poultry flocks [PDF]

open access: yesEpidemics, 2011
This paper summarizes the evidence that the contribution of backyard poultry flocks to the on-going transmission dynamics of an avian influenza epidemic in commercial flocks is modest at best.

Flock Replacement Programs and Flock Recycling

2002
A well-designed and executed replacement program is one of the best guarantees of success in the egg industry today. The choices of programs are many, with a number of different economic outcomes. The use of recycling (induced molting) may or may not be economically feasible at any given time, and must be justified based on the cost of inputs ...
