Because of the rapid growth in the scale and complexity of information networks, self-organizing systems are increasingly being used to realize novel network control systems that are highly scalable, adaptable, and robust. However, the uncertainty of information (with regard to incompleteness, vagueness, and dynamics) in self-organizing systems makes it difficult for them to work appropriately in accordance with the network state. In this study, we apply a model of the collective decision-making of animal groups to enable self-organizing control mechanisms to adapt to information uncertainty. Specifically, we apply a mathematical model of collective decision-making that is known as the effective leadership model (ELM). In the ELM, informed individuals (those who are experienced or well-informed) take the role of leading the others. In contrast, uninformed individuals (those who perceive only local information) follow neighboring individuals. As a result of the collective behavior of informed/uninformed individuals, the animal group achieves consensus. We consider a self-organizing control mechanism using potential-based routing with an optimal control, and propose a mechanism for determining a data-packet forwarding scheme based on the ELM. Through evaluation by simulation, we show that, in a situation in which the perceived information is incomplete and dynamic, nodes can forward data packets in accordance with the network state by applying the ELM.

基于集体决策的信息不确定性自组织控制机制

由于信息网络规模和复杂性的快速增长，自组织系统越来越多地用于实现具有高度可扩展性、适应性和鲁棒性的新型网络控制系统。然而，自组织系统中信息的不确定性（关于不完整性、模糊性和动态性）使得它们难以根据网络状态适当地工作。在这项研究中，我们应用了动物群体的集体决策模型，使自组织控制机制能够适应信息的不确定性。具体来说，我们应用了一个集体决策的数学模型，称为有效领导模型 (ELM)。在 ELM 中，消息灵通的个人（有经验或消息灵通的人）扮演领导他人的角色。相比之下，不知情的人（那些只感知本地信息的人）跟随邻近的人。由于知情/不知情个体的集体行为，动物群体达成共识。我们考虑了一种使用具有最优控制的基于电位的路由的自组织控制机制，并提出了一种基于 ELM 确定数据包转发方案的机制。通过仿真评估，我们表明，在感知信息不完整和动态的情况下，节点可以通过应用ELM根据网络状态转发数据包。我们考虑了一种使用具有最优控制的基于电位的路由的自组织控制机制，并提出了一种基于 ELM 确定数据包转发方案的机制。通过仿真评估，我们表明，在感知信息不完整和动态的情况下，节点可以通过应用ELM根据网络状态转发数据包。我们考虑了一种使用具有最优控制的基于电位的路由的自组织控制机制，并提出了一种基于 ELM 确定数据包转发方案的机制。通过仿真评估，我们表明，在感知信息不完整和动态的情况下，节点可以通过应用ELM根据网络状态转发数据包。
