WI Problem #1 Given: • Different owners set different policies and constraints (e.g., resources A and B will not be used at the same time) • Policies and constraints are NOT openly published (i.e, not centralized) Question: • How to satisfy all constraints? Centralized methods cannot be applied! CNF:
WI Problem #2 • Dynamics of Social Networks: user groups, or communities of common expertise or practice • Design of Social Interaction: a self-organizing pattern of information exchange or experience sharing Classic example: Self-Organization in Game of Life (Conway, 1970) • `Life’ rules are applied to an initial population of live cells (i.e., black cells)
Research Issues 1. Goal-directed Services 7. Semantics (relationships) 5. Coordination (global behavior) 6. Meta-knowledge (planning control) 4. PSML (representation) 8. Association (roles) 3. Social & psychological context (sensitivity) (best means/ends) 2. Personalization (identity) 10. Self-aggregation (feedback) 9. Reproduction (population)
Why AOC? Adaptive computation To exhibit the properties of an autonomous system Collective intelligence Synthetic life forms Autonomy Oriented Computing (AOC) Self-organized criticality To unveil autonomous mechanisms underlying a complex system Evolutionary systems Complex and chaotic systems
What’s AOC? • AOC: A new computing paradigm based on computational `entities’ based on the following principles (operations): • Competition & Cooperation • Self-Aggregation • Diffusion & Reproduction • Interaction
