An Organisational Adaptation Simulator for P2P Networks

چکیده
Organisational centred multi-agent systems (MAS) have proved to be effective to regulate agents’ activities. Nevertheless, population and/or environmental changes may lead to a pour fulfilment of the system’s purposes, and therefore, adapting the whole organisation becomes key. This paper presents a MAS simulator devoted to test organisations with self-adaptation capabilities in P2P scenarios. More specifically, our simulator implements different sharing P2P methods –some of them with self-adaptation– and so, it can be used as a testbed for comparing them.

A simulator for a two layer MAS adaptation in P2P networks
Adapting organisational structures to maintain an organisation effectiveness under varying circumstances is becoming a hot topic within the agent community. In this paper we present a simulator that we have developed for testing adaptation mechanisms in Peer to Peer scenarios. We regard this service as part of the new generation of services that should be incorporated into multiagent systems in...
متن کاملTopology Adaptation in P2P Networks Using Schelling’s Model
The paper presents a study on utilising Thomas Schelling’s model, to perform topology adaptation in unstructured decentralised P2P networks. Schelling’s model suggests an explanation for the existence of segregated neighbourhoods in America. The paper uses an abstract version of Schelling’s algorithm. A simulator to study different variations of Schelling’s model has been implemented. The paper...
متن کاملA simulator for organisation-centred MAS adaptation in P2P sharing networks
We present a simulator to compare different approaches to organisation-centred MAS adaptation in a peer-to-peer (P2P) scenario. In particular, we describe our approach to MAS adaptation (2-LAMA), the P2P sharing network case study and the software we built to evaluate different alternatives.
متن کاملSimulating a File-Sharing P2P Network
Assessing the performance of peer-to-peer algorithms is impossible without simulations since testing new algorithms by deploying them in an existing P2P network is prohibitively expensive. However, some P2P algorithms are sensitive to the network and traffic models that are used in the simulations. In order to produce realistic results, we therefore require simulations that resemble real-world ...
متن کاملA Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory
The popularity of video-on-demand (VoD) streaming has grown dramatically over the World Wide Web. Most users in VoD P2P networks have to wait a long time in order to access their requesting videos. Therefore, reducing waiting time to access videos is the main challenge for VoD P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for caching video based on peers' priority and video's popula...
