Abstract

We introduce a model of self-organizing systems inspired by biological and Physics metaphors. The motivation for the development of this model is twofold,it enables us to identify critical properties of a system and to understand the important metrics characterizing its qualitative and the quantitative behavior. It also enables us to develop a methodology to investigate these systems and to carry out comparative studies of alternative policies that govern system behavior. We illustrate the application of the model with a preliminary study of a system designed to encourage green computing and we present some preliminary simulation results of the model.
