Swarm Intelligence (SI) is a system composed of many individuals interacting locally with each other and/or with their environment, providing collective problem solving. Examples of natural systems are colonies of bees, ants and termites, schools of fish, flocks of birds. In this paper, we introduce a bee-inspired algorithm for information dissemination in VANETs. Honey bees communicate with each other only in bee hives. The proposed algorithm exploits bee communication principles to allow vehicles communicating with each other. Simulations have been conducted and results are reported to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
