Nature offers several examples of self-organizing systems that automatically adjust to changing conditions without adversely affecting the Baby One-Pieces system goals.We propose a self-organizing sensor network that is inspired from real-life systems for sampling a region in an energy-efficient manner.Mobile nodes in our network execute certain rules by processing local information.
These rules enable the nodes to divide the sampling task in a manner such that the nodes self-organize themselves to reduce the total power consumed and improve the accuracy with which the phenomena are sampled.The digital hormone-based model that encapsulates these rules, provides a theoretical framework for examining this class of systems.This model has been simulated and implemented on cricket motes.
Our results indicate that the model is more Beauty effective than a conventional model with a fixed rate sampling.
