A principled approach to modeling self-configuration in distributed systems

In this paper, we present the results of an exhaustive dynamical study of a simple system governed exclusively by probabilistic local decision made by individual constituents. We describe a combination of mathematical and simulation techniques that can jointly be used to make quantitative predictions about the global behaviour of such a system, which is intended as a first approximation for a decentralised service framework in which participating devices autonomously and independently decide which services to host
