Self-organizing Bandwidth Sharing in Priority-Based Medium Access
In this paper, we present an analysis of self-organizing bandwidth sharing in priority-based medium access. For this purpose, the priority-based Access Game is introduced. Analysi...

Self-Organization of Patrolling-Ant Algorithms
—We consider here multi-agent patrolling as the task for a group of agents to repeatedly visit all the cells of a discrete environment. Wagner et al. [1] have introduced patrolli...

Optimising Sensor Layouts for Direct Measurement of Discrete Variables
An optimal sensor layout is attained when a limited number of sensors are placed in an area such that the cost of the placement is minimised while the value of the obtained inform...

Learning Non-Explicit Control Parameters of Self-Organizing Systems
Abstract—Controlling self-organizing systems with given control parameters is often unintuitive and inefficient for the user. Typically, there is some emergent behavior that the...

Self-organized Fault-tolerant Routing in Peer-to-Peer Overlays
—In sufficiently large heterogeneous overlays message loss and delays are likely to occur. This has a significant impact on overlay routing, especially on longer paths. The exi...
