Agent-Controlled Sharing of Distributed Resources in User Networks

  • Chapter
Computational Intelligence for Agent-based Systems

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 72))

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.
