Self-Administered Information Sharing Framework Using Bioinspired Mechanisms

Algorithm 1

Search routes to alternative (distant) exits.
(1)While a SP with novelty-seeking characteristic reaches a node do
(2)if the node is not an alternative exit then
(3)  Examine if any route to the alternative exists in the mailbox
(4)  if there are routes to an alternative exist then
(5)   Choose the top-ranked route and store it in the cognitive map of SP
(6)   Generate a random value between 0 and 1
(7)   ifthen
(8)    Choose the next hop in the to follow
(9)   else
(10)    Choose a random neighbour node as the next hop
(11)   end if
(12)  else
(13)   Choose a random neighbour node as the next hop
(14)  end if

(16)  Stop searching and generate an ACK
