Agent-Controlled Sharing of Distributed Resources in User Networks

In this chapter, we evaluate the feasibility of intelligent and distributed control of shared resources in user-managed networks. The user-managed network paradigm has become possible with the advent of broadband wireless networking technologies such as IEEE 802.11. In those networks, node cooperation can optimize the usage of shared external accesses to the Internet (set of links between the u...
