Designing biomimetic-inspired middleware for anticipative sensor-actor networks

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. Developing software environments for Sensor-Actor Networks (Sanets) is a promising research concern in systems engineering. Current concepts in software would adopt Sanets in a singular communications methodology, but the solution in this work is to take biological inspiration for the systems solution, thus the design of the system achieves a biomimetic construct as a result. Sanets are configurable for a variety of network structures and topologies, with the research aim in designing a network that is interactive and anticipatory to external and internal adaptations. Meanwhile, the event-based changes are composed of scenarios, and the interactivity between external and internal actors. From the requirements of the end-user, the system must be responsive and interactive from the user perspective in real-time, while in addition offering the contextual data to make useful interpretation of systemic conditions from an anticipative view Chiu and Chaczko Design of biomimetic middleware for anticipatory sensor-actor network systems.
