abstract = "This paper has been inspired by two quite different
works in the field of Particle Swarm theory. Its main
aims are to obtain particle swarm equations via genetic
programming which perform better than hand-designed
ones on the group-foraging problem, and to provide
insight into behavioural ecology. With this work, we
want to start a new research direction: the use of
genetic programming together with particle swarm
algorithms in the simulation of problems in behavioural
ecology.",
