The distribution of optimal strategies on a Pareto front, however, suggests that there may be a ‘best-fit’ optimal strategy. Scalability issues with respect to the key parameters of system size and diversity are extensively discussed. We measure the ability of a selected set of local rules to foster self-organization of what is originally a random graph into a structured network. Finally, we introduce dynamic goals by making the preferred neighbour type a function of the local characteristics of a simulated workload.. Professor Kamareddine is an Associate Editor of The Computer Journal and is based in the Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. Conflicting goals are introduced, in the form of a population of nodes actively seeking to acquire neighbours of a type different from their own, resulting in decreased local homogeneity. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings for the design of future distributed applications, the likely influence of other factors and of extreme parameter values on the ability of the system to self-organize and the potential improvements to our framework.In this paper, we investigate the global self-aggregation dynamics arising from local decision-based rewiring of an overlay network, used as an abstraction for an autonomic service-oriented architecture.ArrayThe Capsule Reviews are intended to provide a short succinct review of each paper in the issue in order to bring to a wider readership. We show that a ‘secondary’ self-organization process ensues, whereby nodes spontaneously cluster according to their implicit objective. This article refines the process of selection of a suitable video content adaptation strategy, the former to return best or fittest solutions that have evolved over many generations and the latter to evaluate and rank each generation's solutions against
