Swarm Intelligence is a meta-heuristic methodology used to solve numerical optimization problems by simulating swarm behaviors found in nature. These techniques demonstrate the desirable properties of interpretability, scalability, effectiveness, and robustness. There is a certain similarity between bio-inspired systems and routing in networks, especially in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We are working on the design for a Swarm Intelligence (SI) based routing protocol capable of being deployed on large-scale WSNs to ensure efficient energy usage and prolonging the network lifetime.
