Adaptive-SDR: Adaptive Swarm-Based Distributed Routing

Tags:
switching

Overview 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 or satellite networks, where it is difficult it implement centralized network control. This paper 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.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: The invisible revolution

The bits just outpaced the atoms and the distributed intelligence of the internet went far beyond the government players. Standing on the shoulders of Mother Nature and picking her brains has given us an incredible short cut to success and solutions.

RFID-tagged driverless cars on roads by 2056

That could spell the end of motorways jammed with heavy goods lorries, with ad-hoc wireless networks using adaptive networking technologies to co-ordinate "flocks of unmanned aerial vehicles for goods transport", according to the Foresight...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
