"Reynolds created a virtual flock of birds, called 'boids,' which flew according to three rules:- Always avoid collisions with your neighbors;
- Always try to fly at the same speed as your neighbors;
- Always try to stay close to you neighbors.
These three rules were sufficient to create the emergence of flocking behavior."

On another, bird-like note:
Tiny flying Web server set to swarm
"A tiny helicopter that serves up a Web page over a wireless network has been made by UK scientists using off-the-shelf hardware.
The 70-gram prototype, is the first in a group of flying computers that are planned to one day combine swarm intelligence, the ability to maneuver like a flock of birds, and wireless computing, to process information the way cluster-based supercomputers do."
