Should this article be merged with Swarm intelligence?

- Shouldn't they rather be arranged as subpages (sections with their own main articles) under emergent behaviour? // OlofE 09:38, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Isn't the big problem with this article is that flocking was not "invented" but "simulated"? --VivaEmilyDavies 02:05, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
That's fair to say... additionally, it was first done in 1986, not 1987 (the first paper on it was, however, published in 1987). -- Iron Wallaby 07/15/06
[edit] No merge
The two articles should refer to each other. However flocking seems to be more used as a computer science/algorithmic term, and swarm intelligence from an intelligence/biological perspective. Mathiastck 21:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Efficiency
Flying in flock formation is efficient. Each trailing bird (or aircraft) gets additional lift due to catching the rising half of the swirling vortex from the leaders wings if positioned as in a typical flock, thereby reducing energy use several percent. This has been shown to work experimentally, and computer systems to make such flocks/convoys safe and effective is being developed. I forget where I read about this. It was in the news recently. Anyone wanna source and add this? --Elvey (talk) 06:14, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
