Biology has often been used as a source of inspiration in computer science and engineering. Bioinspired principles have found their way into network node design and research due to the appealing analogies between biological systems and large networks of small sensors. This paper provides an overview of bioinspired principles and methods such as swarm intelligence, natural time synchronization, artificial immune system and intercellular information exchange applicable for sensor network design. Bioinspired principles and methods are discussed in the context of routing, clustering, time synchronization, optimal node deployment, localization and security and privacy.
生物学在计算机科学和工程领域经常被用作灵感来源。由于生物系统与小型传感器的大型网络之间存在吸引人的类比,因此生物启发式原理已经应用于网络节点设计和研究中。本文概述了适用于传感器网络设计的生物启发式原理和方法,例如群体智能、自然时间同步、人工免疫系统和细胞间信息交换。本文在路由、聚类、时间同步、最优节点部署、定位以及安全性和隐私性等方面讨论了生物启发式原理和方法。
