This article aims to theorize and explore the distribution problem in the context of self-organizing open systems when they exhibit social behaviors that can be modeled and formalized, applying the interactive decision theory. In this context, the whole system structure is trying to achieve a stable cooperative state at the same time they aim to satisfy the interests of each individual and reach a certain level of social welfare. We analyze these scenarios evaluating the system stability through a formal analysis of coalitional and non-cooperative games and the notions of collective actions and robustness. We used socially inspired computing to propose a negotiation method that allows the members of the system to cooperate and manage common-pool resources without any central controller or other orchestration forms. The model was evaluated using four quantitative moral metrics through simulation techniques. The result showed how a system influenced by ethical behaviors exhibited higher efficiency, symmetry, and invariance over time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
