A bee dance-inspired communications system developed by Professor Craig Tovey and his research team helps Internet servers that would normally be devoted solely to one task move between tasks as needed, reducing the chances that a Web site could be overwhelmed with requests and lock out potential users and customers. This project was picked up by various media.
