Genetic Algorithms may be used together with Pareto Optimality in the process of selection of an optimal strategy by taking into account this distribution alongside user preferences, video content characteristics and usage history. We demonstrate that in this context, an overlay rewiring process based purely on local decisions and interactions can result in efficient load-balancing without central planning. We show that a ‘secondary’ self-organization process ensues, whereby nodes spontaneously cluster according to their implicit objective.. 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.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. The outcome of this is a Pareto front of optimal strategies, all of which would satisfy the objectives. 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. The Capsule Reviews were compiled by Fairouz Kamareddine.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. 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. In order to make the refined process dynamic, it pursues its implementation using Self-Organising Neural Networks. The distribution
