ACO Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks
Overview The recent popularity of applications based on wireless sensor networks provides a strong motivation for pushing its technological limits. The authors feel that sensor networks can benefit from some of nature's robust solutions. In this work the authors evaluate the applicability of pheromone based foraging techniques, found in many ants, to route data packets in sensor networks. The authors found that such a solution is very robust and can easily recover from significant outages within the network. However high overheads do not allow it to replace traditional routing techniques in its current form.
