Studies of self-organization in natural systems first took off in the 1960s. In technology, such approaches have become a hot research topic over the last 4-5 years with emphasis upon management and control in communication networks, and especially in resource-constrained sensor and actor networks. In the area of ad hoc networks new solutions have been discovered that imitate the properties of self-organization. Some algorithms for on-demand communication and coordination, including data-centric networking, are well-known examples.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey features include:\u003c\/p\u003e  *Detailed treatment of self-organization, mobile sensor and actor networks, coordination between autonomous systems, and bio-inspired networking.   *Overview of the basic methodologies for self-organization, a comparison to central and hierarchical control, and classification of algorithms and techniques in sensor and actor networks.   *Explanation of medium access control, ad hoc routing, data-centric networking, synchronization, and task allocation issues.   *Introduction to swarm intelligence, artificial immune system, molecular information exchange.   *Numerous examples and application scenarios to illustrate the theory.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSelf-Organization in Sensor and Actor Networks\u003c\/i\u003e will prove essential reading for students of computer science and related fields; researchers working in the area of massively distributed systems, sensor networks, self-organization, and bio-inspired networking will also find this reference useful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45204030881943,"sku":"9780470028209","price":8325.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780470028209.webp?v=1769208991","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/self-organization-in-sensor-and-actor-networks-9780470028209","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
