A Survey of Models and Design Methods for Self-organizing Networked Systems

Self-organization, whereby through purely local interactions, global order and structure emerge, is studied broadly across many fields of science, economics, and engineering. We review several existing methods and modeling techniques used to understand self-organization in a general manner. We then present implementation concepts and case studies for applying these principles for the design and deployment of robust self-organizing networked systems.
