| Autonomic Pervasive Computing: A Smart Mall Scenario Using Promise Theory (2008) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Abstract. We present a simplified example of a pervasive computing scenario using promises to model the interaction policies between the agents. We examine how the autonomic nodes stabilize into a robust functional system in spite of their autonomous decision making. We use promises both as a means of modelling a potential specification and as a complementary eye glass for interpreting and understanding emergent behaviour. The analysis of promises reveals ‘faults ’ in the policies, which prevent the collaborative functioning of the system as a whole. Successful interactions are the result of a bargaining process. The method of eigenvector centrality is used to locate the most important and vulnerable agents to the functioning of the system. 1 | |||||||||||||||
