COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK USING EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY OF BACTERIA AS A MODEL FOR NODAL POLICY

摘要

The present invention provides an emergent network (10) that is autonomous a t the service level. Network nodes (20) have policies that enable them to process different types of service requests (a,b,c,d), with the processing earning the nodes "rewards". Successful nodes can pass some or all of their policies to other nodes using the evolutionary biology of bacteria as a mode l.
