Michael Wang

Current Research:

I am investigating a highly scalable, decentralized, adaptable, and survivable architecture for network services and applications called the Bio-Networking Architecture. The Bio-Networking Architecture is inspired by biological systems such as the immune system, bee colony, ant colony, and human society. The Bio-Networking Architecture consists of groups of autonomous mobile agents which exhibit emergent behaviors.
