| Sumario: | The article discusses the use of "swarms" in industry. The term swarm refers to a large group of simple components working together to achieve a goal and produce significant results. Practitioners in fields like telephone switching and network routing are investigating the use of swarm behavior for potential applications. Swarmcasting is a technique that exploits the acceleration of distributed downloading to provide high-resolution video, audio, and peer-to-peer data streams. It also significantly reduces needed bandwidth. The U.S.' National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been investigating the use of swarms for future space exploration.
