Bio-Inspired Computing and Networking
Sobre aquest llibre
Containing contributions from leading researchers from around the world, the book investigates the fundamental aspects and applications of bio-inspired computing and networking. Presenting the latest advances in bio-inspired communication, computing, networking, clustering, optimization, and robotics, the book considers state-of-the-art approaches, novel technologies, and experimental studies, including bio-inspired:
- Optimization of dynamic NP-hard problems
- Top-down controller design for distributing a robot swarm among multiple tasks
- Self-organizing data and signals cellular systems
- Dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radio networks
- QoS-aware architecture for scalable, adaptive, and survivable network systems
- Locomotion control of the Hexapod Robot Gregor III
The book explores bio-inspired topology control and reconfiguration methods, as well as bio-inspired localization, synchronization, and mobility approaches. Providing wide-ranging coverage that includes past approaches, current challenges, and emerging concepts such as the evolution and self-healing of network architectures and protocols, this comprehensive reference provides you with the well-rounded understanding you need to continue the advancement of the development, design, and implementation of bio-inspired computing and networking.
