The concept of self-organization is rapidly gaining importance in the area of distributed computing systems. However, we still lack the necessary means for engineering such system...
— Designing and implementing artificial self-organizing systems is a challenging task since they typically behave nonintuitive and no theoretical foundations exist. Predicting a...
Incentives for resource sharing are crucial for the proper operation of P2P networks. The principle of the incentive mechanisms in current content sharing P2P networks such as Bit...
