An Autonomy-Oriented Paradigm for Self-Organized Computing

Jiming Liu, Chao Gao, Ning Zhong

Abstract: A bottom-up computing paradigm, namely Autonomy-Oriented Computing (AOC), offers some principles and mechanisms for non-linearly solving computationally hard problems. The goal of this paper is to describe how AOC-based emergent computing can be realized in large-scale, dynamic, distributed and/or decentralized networks. A case study is given to demonstrate the main process and contribution of self-organization, the core of AOC, in a distributed local search algorithm.
