Model and Experiments of Local Decision Based on Cooperative Self-Organization

This paper presents an approach based on cooperative selforganization for arti cial systems, in order to tackle openness and dynamics. We propose to use cooperation as a local criterion enabling parts of the system the cooperative agents to reorganize as to modify their interactions and then the global function. We underline the di culty of de ning cooperation and the means to reestablish a cooperative state within a non cooperative system. Two cooperative agents' behaviors are expounded, at the boundary between altruism and sel shness. This approach is also illustrated by modeling, from a local viewpoint, a classical constraint satisfaction problem: the N queens problem.
