N2 - Collective identity helps swarms remain coherent in thepresence of others. Building identity into artificial systemsenables groups of agents to work in the same area as oneanother, without interference from other agents. By linkingthe firefly algorithm to the control logic of the agents, wepresent a method to form and maintain identity in swarms. Bymeasuring swarm polarization, and swarm overlap, we showthat the inclusion of an identity allows a swarm to remaincoherent for an extended period of time, without interferencefrom other swarms.
