Abstract
Nature and society exhibit many instances of systems in which large
populations are able to reach efficient equilibria and develop
effective collaboration and survival strategies in the absence of central control.
Inspiration from these systems indicate a way for dealing with
the emerging dense billion nodes Internet of the coming decades.
Based on autonomic local interactions these
novel models of system design and control are a candidate for providing
integrated communication service environments with the scaling and
adaptation needed to face the constantly changing, growing
and unpredictable user expectations in cost, services and response
quality.
