  1. Mobile Agents for Adaptive Routing Presented by Hong-Jiun Chen & Manu Prasanna Gianni Di Caro & Marco Dorigo

  2. Hong-Jiun Manu Outline • Introduction • Overview of Routing Algorithms • Communication Network Model • AntNet • Other Routing Algorithms • Experiment Settings • Experiment Results • Conclusion

  3. Real ants have been shown to be able to find the shortest paths by using only the pheromone trail deposited by other ants I’m Real Ant Introduction • AntNet

  4. Introduction • AntNet • A new routing algorithm for telecommunication networks • An adaptive, distributed, mobile-agents-based algorithm • Apply it in a datagram network

  5. Introduction • Terminology • Routing • Throughput • Delay (Latency)

  6. Introduction • Routing • It refers to the activity of building forwarding tables, one for each node in the network, which tell incoming data which link to use to continue their travel towards the destination node.

  7. Introduction • Throughput • It is the number of bits which the network is able to carry in a given period of time

  8. Introduction • Delay (latency) • Propagation delay • Queuing delay • Processing delay • Transmission delay: The time elapsed from the moment the first bit of the message is transmitted till the last bit of the message is transmitted

  9. Outline • Introduction • Overview of Routing Algorithms • Communication Network Model • AntNet • Other Routing Algorithms • Experiment Settings • Experiment Results • Conclusion

  10. Routing Algorithm • Goal • To direct traffic from sources to destinations • Network performance  • Costs

  11. Routing Algorithm • The performance metrics: • throughput (bits/second) • delay (second) • Static or Adaptive?

  12. Outline • Introduction • Overview of Routing Algorithms • Communication Network Model • AntNet • Other Routing Algorithms • Experiment Settings • Experiment Results • Conclusion

  13. Communication Network Model • Apply on datagram networks without concerning congestion and admission control • FIFO • When links resources are available, they are reserved and the transfer is set up • The time it takes a packet from one node to another depends on its size and the link transmission characteristics • No ACK

  14. Outline • Introduction • Overview of Routing Algorithms • Communication Network Model • AntNet • Other Routing Algorithms • Experiment Settings • Experiment Results • Conclusion

  39. Conclusion • AntNet shows a robust behavior • Reaction time of algorithm is acceptable • Impact on network resources is neglectable

  40. Strengths Possible Weaknesses Strengths and Possible Weaknesses • Good idea • Nice buildup • Time tested idea (ants have been around for sometime… 80 million years) • Scalability issues are ignored • Setup costs and time? • Feasibility for wireless networks?

  41. New Ideas • The term is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as The process by which the results of an insects activity act as a stimulus to further activity, and is used in the mobile robotics literature to describe activity in which an agent supplies changes to the world architecting its future behavior, usually in a useful way AntNet: new algorithm for adaptive routing • Stigmergy

  42. Relevance to IES • If the goal of AI/Robotics is to make machines as intelligent as humans we should first start with imitating lesser intelligent animals (eg: ants) • Social behavior, community behavior, cooperation among ants/bees can be applied easily in robotics

  43. The Ants: A Community of Microrobots • Source: MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab • Goals • push the limits of microrobotics by integrating many sensors and actuators into a small package • form a structured robotic community from the interactions of many simple individuals
