Abstract
Instead of exploration and exploitation, this paper utilizes the gregarious behavior and social intolerance demonstrated in animal aggregations to introduce a new formulation of swarm optimizers. The balance between the two dynamic forces resulting from gregariousness and social intolerance is used to define a new set of basic behavior, which if combined together, will lead to swarm formations. Individuals inside the swarm are treated as agents that enjoy certain degrees of free will in order to generate sources of novelty in every move within the domain space
