Abstract

In distributed, dynamic networks and applications, such as Peer-to-Peer (P2P), users' behaviour and quality of service/quality of experiment are known to influence each other. In worst cases, these mutual influences could lead the system to crash. We propose a novel approach to model relationships between users and QoS. It is based upon multi-agent systems in order to study the impact of situated behaviours on the global network and to integrate different levels of representation (users' behaviour, overlay protocols, network topology). This paper describes our approach to represent the different models required in such systems and a first implementation in an existing overlay simulator with the first results of experimentations.
