ABSTRACT

Effective decentralized coordination mechanisms enabling self-organizing emergent solutions have to take into account the inherent heterogeneity of components involved in most of the problems such solutions are intended for. Thus, versatile mechanisms take inspirations from coordination paradigms between homogeneous or heterogeneous organisms in biology using chemical stimuli. An economic engineering of such self-organizing emergent solutions however requires an expressive, abstract coordination model that allows for the combination of different digital chemical stimuli into coherent and efficient coordination mechanisms. This work discusses certain shortcomings of the existing abstract model as well as proposes and evaluates improvements to it.
