Abstract

A Self-Organization Mechanism Based on Cross-Entropy Method for P2P-Like Applications GANG CHEN and ABDOLHOSSEIN SARRAFZADEH Unitec New Zealand and CHOR PING LOW and LIANG ZHANG Nanyang Technological University P2P-like applications are quickly gaining popularity in the Internet. Such applications are commonly modeled as graphs with nodes and edges. Usually nodes represent running processes that exchange information with each other through communication channels as represented by the edges. They often need to autonomously determine their suitable working mode or local status for the purpose of improving performance, reducing operation cost, or achieving system-level design goals. In order to achieve this objective, the concept of status con guration is introduced in this article and a mathematical correspondence is further established between status con guration and an optimization index (OI), which serves as a uni ed abstraction of any system design goals. Guided by this correspondence and inspired by the cross-entropy algorithm, a cross-entropy-driven selforganization mechanism (CESM) is proposed in this article.
