1. A system, comprising:
- a communication component that establishes a communication link with an element set of a swarm that comprises a first element and a second element, the communication component is disposed, at least in part, on the first element; and
a management component that manages performance of a task list by the swarm through utilization of the communication link and that manages performance of the task list by the swarm in a decentralized manner, the management component is disposed, at least in part, on the first element,where the task list comprises at least one task capable of being performed, at least in part, by the swarm,where the communication link is between at least the first element and the second element,where management of performance of the task list in a decentralized manner includes at least performance on an element-level, andwhere management of performance occurs independent of a central entity that exercises control over the first element and the second element with regard to performance of the task list.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with swarm management are described. One example system comprises a communication component configured to establish a communication link with at least one element, where the at least one element is part of a swarm. The example system also comprises a management component configured to manage performance of a task list by the swarm through the communication link.
