HARNESSING SWARM INTELLIGENCE IN DECENTRALIZED IOT SYSTEMS FOR AUTONOMOUS INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The increasing complexity of modern infrastructure systems necessitates intelligent, scalable, and fault-tolerant management solutions. Swarm Intelligence (SI), inspired by the collective behavior of biological organisms, offers a decentralized and robust computational approach. This paper explores how integrating SI with Internet of Things (IoT) frameworks can revolutionize infrastructure management. We analyze current methodologies, highlight challenges, and propose a conceptual framework for utilizing decentralized SI algorithms in IoT-based infrastructure networks. Applications such as smart grids, urban monitoring, and disaster response are examined. Key benefits include real-time adaptability, autonomy, and enhanced resiliencee.
