Abstract

We formalize a model for a self-organizing network of nodes that operate according to the UWB principle based on hybrid modelling formalism. We design the rules that lead to the formation of the network and in particular an admission control procedure that is capable to handle both continuous and discrete perturbations, while maintaining the network in a condition of stability. Cognition is introduced in the model by allowing nodes to adjust their rules of operation based on the perception of the environment by an elected node, serving as the observer, that is aware of context, evaluates, and selects one strategy of operation.
