Here's something Bill might recognise from his Crowds demo (but without any control theory in it):
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0376635711001884
"Wolf-pack (Canis lupus) hunting strategies emerge from simple rules in computational simulations"
C. Muro, R. Escobedo, L. Spector, R.P. Coppinger
Behavioural Processes, in press 2011.
They model wolf-pack hunting and show that the wolves' behaviour can be duplicated by a model with just two rules:
1. Move towards the target until a certain distance is reached.
2. At that distance, keep a minimum separation from the other wolves.
The article is paywalled, but here's a URL that may work for everyone, to an animation in the paper of seven wolves approaching a stationary target:

I have the article, and if anyone wants it I can send a copy.

I would very much like a copy of the paper. It sounds fascinating.
