The similar flocking model improves the Vicsek model by introducing the similarity between individuals and velocity updating rule, which causes similar objects to cluster quickly. In order to save energy, CASFM algorithm preprocesses similar data on the sending sensors first, which greatly reduces the transmission of similar data. So the communication overhead is decreased.
