      Applying swarm intelligence to a novel congestion control approach for wireless sensor networks 

      Antoniou, Pavlos Ch.; Pitsillides, Andreas; Engelbrecht, A.; Blackwell, T.; Michael, Loizos (2011)
      Recently, sensor networks have attracted significant research interest. However, most studies have mainly focused on protocols for applications in which network performance assurances are not considered essential. With the ...

      Congestion control in wireless sensor networks based on bird flocking behavior 

      Antoniou, Pavlos Ch.; Pitsillides, Andreas; Blackwell, T.; Engelbrecht, A.; Michael, Loizos (2013)
      This paper proposes that the flocking behavior of birds can guide the design of a robust, scalable and self-adaptive congestion control protocol in the context of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The proposed approach ...

      Congestion control in wireless sensor networks based on the bird flocking behavior 

      Antoniou, Pavlos Ch.; Pitsillides, Andreas; Engelbrecht, A.; Blackwell, T.; Michael, Loizos (2009)
      Recently, performance controlled wireless sensor networks have attracted significant interest with the emergence of mission-critical applications (e.g. health monitoring). Performance control can be carried out by robust ...

      Employing the flocking behavior of birds for controlling congestion in autonomous decentralized networks 

      Antoniou, Pavlos Ch.; Pitsillides, Andreas; Blackwell, T.; Engelbrecht, A. (2009)
      Recently a great emphasis has been given on autonomous decentralized networks (ADNs) wherein constituent nodes carry out specific tasks collectively. Their dynamic and constrained nature along with the emerging need for ...

      Implementing QoS aware component-based applications 

      Chimaris, Avraam N.; Papadopoulos, George Angelos (2004)
      By QoS (Quality of Service), we often refer to a set of quality requirements on the collective behavior of one or more objects. These requirements enable the provision of better service to certain data flows. The developer ...
