Cercia has recently received coverage of their work in India’s national newspaper The Hindu in their article "Take Computing back to nature"
"…Ants may seem to wander randomly in search of food, but in fact there is method in their movement. When one ant finds the shortest path to a food source, others will follow, generating `positive feedback’ that is passed on generously to all ants in the colony.
Need to create a new housing colony, with scope for growth, that takes note of encroachments from outside? Look at the `Invasive Weed Colony Optimisation’ method, which is based on the way weeds seem to occupy all the vacant spaces…."
"…Evolutionary (also called natural) computation tries to mimic these elegant natural processes to solve real-world problems… ranging from traffic congestion to credit card fraud detection. So successful has this trend proved, that entire teams of problem solvers are at work today, harnessing these nature-inspired computational tools to deliver a dizzying array of practical solutions…."
The article then goes on to explain how Cercia’s expertise in computational intelligence and evolutionary computing can be applied to a wide and diverse range of problems.
