A Swarm Intelligence inspired Autonomic Routing Scenario in Ubiquitous Sensor Networks

Abstract

Autonomic computing has attracted large amount of attention as a novel computing paradigm in the past few years. In this paper, we explore the inherent accordance between autonomic computing and swarm intelligence. Then, we propose a swarm intelligence inspired autonomic routing scenario with a targeting application area in ubiquitous sensor network. This scenario covers most of the characteristics of autonomic computing. The working flow and steps of our SI inspired autonomic routing scenario are explained in detail together with some preliminary simulation results, such as the power consumption, delivery ratio etc
