Towards Situated Awareness in Urban Networks: A Bio-Inspired Approach
Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Workshops (SASOW), pages 223–228
IEEE CS, SASO 2012, Lyon, France
April 2013
The possibility to have millions of computational devices interconnected across urban environments opens up novel application areas. In such highly distributed scenarios, applications must gain awareness as a result of opportunistic encounters with co-located devices, a departure from traditional reasoning approaches. We envision situated awareness as an emergent property of such networks, where bio-inspired algorithms are employed to coordinate interactions between devices through managing the lifecycle, distribution, and content of data. A congestion-aware, crowd-steering example illustrates this approach.
