Bio-inspired techniques are based on principles, or models, of biological systems. In general, natural systems present remarkable capabilities of resilience and adaptability. In this book, we explore how bio-inspired methods can solve different problems linked to computer networks.Future networks are expected to be autonomous, scalable and adaptive. During millions of years of evolution, nature has developed a number of different systems that present these and other characteristics required for the next generation networks. Indeed, a series of bio-inspired methods have been successfully used to solve the most diverse problems linked to computer networks. This book presents some of these techniques from a theoretical and practical point of view.
Discusses the key concepts of bio-inspired networking to aid you in finding efficient networking solutions
Delivers examples of techniques both in theoretical concepts and practical applications
Helps you apply nature's dynamic resource and task management to your computer networks
Academics and students in the field of computer network engineering; researchers and network engineers
