Abstract

Consider a web society made up of a huge number of agents communicating with one another. Each agent has a wide facility of receiving and sending data and a very small capacity for processing them. Hence data constitute a heap of microgranules of information. Each individual processes data by itself with the sole goal of increasing an its own utility. In this sense it adapts its parameters in a monotone way in order to fit granules. The sole social interaction with surrounding people aims at maintaining a healthy homeostasis. This goal is achieved through an aging mechanism that is put at the basis of a human-centric policy for producing a dynamic formation of clusters of healthy agents within a population. As a result, agents are specialized in a user-dependent task common to all individuals of a same cluster, and possibly belong to more than one cluster. We may interpret the process as a dynamic assignment of agent membership degrees to the various clusters: each cluster ranked with an overall quality index, each agent partitioning an overall membership on the single clusters.
