Biologically inspired mobile agent-based sensor network (BIMAS)

Sensor nodes deployed in a large topology require autonomous capabilities and scalability since frequent replacement of the nodes is almost impossible. These sensors should be self-healing and energy efficient. Biologically inspired algorithms offer a new paradigm in providing solutions to problems...
