Abstract EN
The swarm intelligence is becoming a hot topic.
The flocking of birds is a natural phenomenon, which is formed and organized without central or external controls for some benefits (e.g., reduction of energy consummation).
However, the flocking also has some negative effects on the human, as the infectious disease H7N9 will easily be transmited from the denser flocking birds to the human.
Zombie-city model has been proposed to help analyzing and modeling the flocking birds and the artificial society.
This paper focuses on the H7N9 virus transmission in the flocking birds and from the flocking birds to the human.
And some interesting results have been shown: (1) only some simple rules could result in an emergence such as the flocking; (2) the minimum distance between birds could affect H7N9 virus transmission in the flocking birds and even affect the virus transmissions from the flocking birds to the human.
