A Bio-Inspired Architecture for Division of Labour in SANETs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Division of labour is one of the possible strategies to efficiently exploit the resources of autonomous systems. It is also a phenomenon often observed in animal systems. We show an architecture that implements division of labour in Sensor/Actuator Networks. The way the nodes take their decisions is inspired by ants’ foraging behaviour. The preliminary results show that the architecture and the bio-inspired mechanism successfully induce self-organised division of labour in the network. The experiments were run in simulation. We developed a new type of simulator for this purpose. Key features of our work are crosslayer design and exploitation of inter-node interactions. No explicit negotiation between the agents takes place.

Bio-inspired Feedback Loops for Self-Organized Event Detection in SANETs
We focus on the question of self-organized scheduling of event detection in SANETs. This question is especially challenging in very dynamic environments. Recently, a number of self-organization methods have been published that focus on network-centric operation in such networks. Based on our previously developed RSN system, which is a light-weight programming scheme for SANETs, we study the fea...
متن کاملSocial Inhibition Manages Division of Labour in Artificial Swarm Systems
This paper presents a novel and bio-inspired algorithm for distributed division of labour in swarms of artificial agents (e.g., autonomous underwater vehicles). The algorithm is inspired by division of labour via local interactions in social insects. The algorithm is successfully implemented in virtual agents and simulated robot swarms and demonstrates a high adaptivity in response to changes i...
متن کاملBio-inspired networking – the basis for efficient communication in sensor and actor networks
Recent approaches in the domain of bio-inspired networking enabled further scalability and efficiency in communication and coordination in massively distributed systems. Sensor and Actor Networks (SANETs) represent a specific class of such environments in which classical communication protocols often fail due to scalability problems. This presentation outlines biological communication technique...

The relation between nature and human considers different periods. At first it was bio-utilization which degrades the value of nature as a source of energy and material. After revolution in science development and attention to the damages which they made to environment, they tried to change their look to this issue and expand the mean of relation between human and nature. Birth of such word l...
متن کاملBio-urban design and the Hidden Rules of Nature
There was a turning point in each period of time which human has discovered a new sight about the world and nature order in a way, and then has presented this relation by numeral, artful and industrial language. Biourbanism focuses on the urban organism, considering it as a hyper complex system, according to its internal and external dynamics and their mutual interactions. Nowadays when it is t...
