Emergent Distributed Problem-solving Technique for Self-configuring Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of configuring a massive, complex multiagent system can be viewed as a distributed search problem in which each agent attempts to choose a correct configuration. This research presents a technique that can simultaneously function as the problem decomposition and solution aggregation components in such a distributed search environment. The method is tested in a number of large multi-agent simulations to demonstrate its feasibility. The agents in the system are shown to achieve optimal or near optimal configurations in significantly less time than agents configuring themselves individually.

Decentralized K-means clustering with MANET swarms
Swarm intelligent systems are efficient, decentralized multiagent problem-solving systems that offer several advantages over centrally controlled systems. A swarm intelligent system self-organizes into a structure that is robust, scalable, adaptable, and computationally efficient. Swarm intelligent systems, or swarms, utilize emergence, where simple local behaviors distributed across many agent...
متن کاملAnalysing and Engineering Self - Organising Emergent Applications
Modern distributed systems exhibit an increasingly interwoven structure (e.g. ad-hoc networks, transportation systems, etc.). Different subsystems depend on and interact with each other in many, often very complex, dynamic, and unpredictable ways. Also, more and more systems require and exhibit a completely decentralised structure and need to achieve their requirements autonomously. A promising...
متن کاملDistributed Configuring
Shorter product cycles, lower prices, and the production of highly variant products tailored to the customer needs are the main reasons for the proceeding success of product configuration systems. However, today’s product configuration systems are designed for solving local configuration tasks only, although the economic development towards webs of highly specialized solution providers demands ...

Traditional security approaches are not sufficient to deal with the protection and survivability of highly distributed information systems operating in unbounded networks. This paper discusses the need for and importance of survivability, defines unbounded network, and examines the characteristics that differentiate survivability from other software quality attributes and nonfunctional properti...
متن کاملA Novel Technique for Joint Energy and Reserve Dispatch Considering Lost Opportunity Cost
This paper presents a novel solution method for joint energy and Spinning Reserve (SR) dispatch problem. In systems in which the Lost Opportunity Cost (LOC) should be paid to generators, if the LOC is not considered in the dispatch problem, the results may differ from the truly optimum solution. Since the LOC is a non-differentiable function, including it in the formulation makes the problem so...
