Abstract

Self-organizing systems have increased in relevance and are used to deal with complex problems domains. They allow the development of decentralized solutions that exhibit a dynamic and adaptable behavior that can face the challenge of handling disturbances that were previously unknown in the environment. The main difficulties in building self-organizing multiagent systems lie in the lack of mechanisms to regulate the interaction and coordination between the agents of the environment and the reuse of ...
