Self-organizing systems : 6th IFIP TC 6 international workshop, IWSOS 2012, Delft, the Netherlands, March 15-16, 2012 ; proceedings

Annotation This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th IFIP TC 6 International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems, IWSOS 2012, held in Delft, The Netherlands, in March 2012. The 5 revised full papers and 5 short papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully selected from 25 full paper and 8 short paper submissions. The papers address the following key topics: design and analysis of self-organizing and self-managing systems; inspiring models of self-organization in nature and society; structure, characteristics and dynamics of self-organizing networks; techniques and tools for modeling self-organizing systems; robustness and adaptation in self-organizing systems; self-organization in complex networks like peer-to-peer, sensor, ad-hoc, vehicular and social networks; control of self-organizing systems; decentralized power management in the smart grid; self-organizing group and pattern formation; self-organizing mechanisms for task allocation, coordination and resource allocation; self-organizing information dissemination and content search; and risks and limits of self-organization Front Matter....Pages - Distributed Storage Management Using Dynamic Pricing in a Self-Organized Energy Community....Pages 1-12 Ant-Based Systems for Wireless Networks: Retrospect and Prospects....Pages 13-23 Triadic Motifs and Dyadic Self-Organization in the World Trade Network....Pages 24-35 On Measurement of Internal Variables of Complex Self-Organized Systems and Their Relation to Multifractal Spectra....Pages 36-47 Self-Organised Routing for Road Networks....Pages 48-59 P2P and Cloud: A Marriage of Convenience for Replica Management....Pages 60-71 Self-Organizing Spatio-temporal Pattern Formation in Two-Dimensional Daisyworld....Pages 72-83 Heuristic Resource Search in a Self-Organised Distributed Multi Agent System....Pages 84-89 A Quantitative Measure, Mechanism and Attractor for Self-Organization in Networked Complex Systems....Pages 90-95 MetroNet: A Metropolitan Simulation Model Based on Commuting Processes....Pages 96-103 Robustness of Self-Organizing Consensus Algorithms: Initial Results from a Simulation-Based Study....Pages 104-108 Initial Experiments in Using Communication Swarms to Improve the Performance of Swarm Systems....Pages 109-114 Back Matter....Pages -
