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)
