Economics as Distributed Computation
In human societies diverse people act purposively with powerful but limited cognitive processes, interacting directly with one another through technologically-facilitated and physically-mediated social networks. Agent-based computational modeling takes these features of humanity—behavioral heterogeneity, bounded rationality, network interactions—at face value, using modern objectoriented progra...
متن کاملDistributed Computation as Hierarchy
This paper presents a new distributed computational model of distributed systems called the phase web that extends Vaughn Pratt’s orthocurrence relation from 1986. The model uses mutual-exclusion to express sequence, and a new kind of hierarchy to replace event sequences, posets, and pomsets. The model explicitly connects computation to a discrete Clifford algebra that is in turn extended into ...
متن کاملEconomic Aspect of Fuel Cell Power as Distributed Generation
This paper presents an energy management strategy to supply residential load by hybrid fuel cell power plant (FCPP). Economical fuel cell (FC) model includes thermal load, local electrical load, operational cost, startup cost and different tariffs on electricity during the day hour is discussed. Several Strategies have been presented for supplying residential load (electrical and thermal loads...
متن کاملCultural Evolution as Distributed Computation
The speed and transformative power of human cultural evolution is evident from the change it has wrought on our planet. This chapter proposes a human computation program aimed at (1) distinguishing algorithmic from non-algorithmic components of cultural evolution, (2) computationally modeling the algorithmic components, and amassing human solutions to the non-algorithmic (generally, creative) c...
متن کاملManaging The Internet as an Economic System
The Internet is by far the fastest growing economy in the world in terms of the number of users and information providers. Currently there are over 30 million users with an estimated 100% annual growth. As an economic system we can view the information providers, including entertainment, news, educational services, etc., as producers and the users as consumers. The Internet is already experienc...
