Abstract

In recent years, mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET's) have been deployed in various scenarios, but their scalability is severely restricted by the human operators' ability to configure and manage the network in the face of rapid change of the network structure and demand patterns. In this paper, we present a self-organizing approach to MANET management based on stigmergic agents and demonstrate how to analyze its performance under different deployment assumptions. Our results emphasize the importance of attention to notions from dynamical systems theory in designing and deploying multi-agent systems.
