Modelling malicious entities in a robotic swarm

Work has been undertaken in the research of swarm robotics and potential applications. This has included several specific models and simulations, with the majority of the work assuming a benign operational environment for the swarm. This paper proposes a generic model to represent a swarm and then adapts the generic model to consider malicious elements within the swarm.
