Abstract:
Holonic systems are a promising development of multiagent systems, where a holon is simultaneously a whole, composed of sub-structures, and a part of a larger entity, thus demonstrating a self-similar or fractal configuration. In this paper, we present a holon-based approach for complex multimedia processing based on elementary services that can self-organize in order to perform complex tasks. The reputations of agents are taken into account and a protocol is described that demonstrates the formation and stability of holonic coalitions that offer high quality services.
