title = "Anycast routing protocol using swarm intelligence for ad hoc pervasive network",
abstract = "In a pervasive environment, regional servers with local information may be deployed everywhere and pervasive computing devices may require connecting to the nearest service server to download the most up-to-date information. This study investigates the problem of routing packets to the nearest server in a pervasive environment. An anycast routing protocol based on Swarm Intelligence and anycast service, called Anycast Routing Protocol using Swarm Intelligence (ARPSI), is proposed to route packets dynamically to a nearby server in a mobile, ad hoc, wireless network. ARPSI applies the behavior of the real ant colonies to find a shorter path to a neighboring server efficiently and quickly. Simulation results show that ARPSI achieves a higher packet delivery ratio, shorter routing path to anycast servers, and lower control packet overhead than A-AODV protocol. To our knowledge, this is the first work to integrate swarm intelligence and anycast service to solve anycast routing in a mobile ad hoc network with servers deployed at stationary locations.",
