Swarm intelligence forms the core of a new class of algorithms inspired by the social behavior of insects that live in swarms. Its attractive features include adaptation, robustness and a distributed, decentralized nature, rendering swarm-based algorithms well-suited for routing in wireless o r satellite networks, where it is difiicult it implement centralized network control. We propose one such routing algorithm, dubbed Adaptive Swarm-based Distributed Routing (Adaptive-SDR), which is scalable, robust and suitable to handle large amounts of network traffic, while minimizing delay and packet loss.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
