Bio-inspired Networking

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.
