their presence becomes ubiquitous in many life sectors. Due to the frequent topology change one of the most important
aspects of the self-managing MANETs is the effective spreading of information; it should be disseminated fast, before
the period of validity expires. While there are a huge number of information dissemination algorithms described
in the literature, the environment is changing so rapidly that there is no hope for choosing a theoretically optimal algorithm.
Therefore I introduced a biologically inspired solution based on the phenomena of natural selection. The
individuals with the highest fitness will reproduce faster than the less fit ones. The designer chooses the fitness function
so that the species with good performance will get higher fitness scores. An important benefit is that there is no
central fitness evaluation; every decision is made locally in the nodes, reducing the overhead generated by the performance
feedback.
