Preface

The second paper, titled Adaptive Load Balancing Ad Hoc Routing Scheme Inspired by True Slime Mold, by H. Katada, T. Yamazaki and T. Miyoshi, proposes an adaptive ad hoc routing method that is capable of constructing multiple paths based on the bandwidth available for each link, transmission data size and residual battery level of the node. The authors confirmed that the proposed method may adaptively construct single or multiple paths based on available bandwidth, transmission data size and residual battery level of nodes within a dynamic network topology. G-LocON provides geolocation-oriented device-to-device communication, relying solely on current wireless technologies, such as LTE and Wi-Fi, and cooperating with the global positioning system and peer-to-peer overlay networking.
