Chemical computing models have been proposed since the 1980ies for expressing concurrent computations in elegant ways for shared memory systems. In this paper we look at the distri...

Desynchronization is a novel primitive for sensor networks: it implies that nodes perfectly interleave periodic events to occur in a round-robin schedule. This primitive can be us...

Sensor and Actor Networks (SANETs) represent a specific class of massively distributed systems in which classical communication protocols often fail due to scalability problems. N...
Abstract. Termites are known for building some of the most elaborate architectures observed in the animal world. We here analyse some topological properties of three dimensional ne...

Emerging pervasive computing technologies such as sensor networks and RFID tags can be embedded in our everyday environment to digitally store and elaborate a variety of informatio...
The emergence of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) has culminated in a new generation of wireless networking. New communication paradigms, which use dynamic interconnectedness as peop...
Vehicular sensor networks (VSNs) provide a collaborative sensing environment where mobile vehicles equipped with sensors of different nature (from chemical detectors to still/video...

In this chapter, we present some of the biologically-inspired approaches, developed within the context of the European project BIONETS for enabling autonomic pervasive computing en...
Epidemics-inspired techniques have received huge attention in recent years from the distributed systems and networking communities. These algorithms and protocols rely on probabili...
