Abstract

A computer-implemented method is disclosed which includes receiving an initial decision from each of a plurality of agents based on the same criteria, wherein at least a subset of the agents are computing nodes, and wherein the criteria pertain to a resource allocation request; assigning an equal weight to resources specific to each of the agents; generating, for each of the initial decisions, a revised decision based on (i) comparing the initial decisions to each other, (ii) modeling aggregate group behavior represented by the initial decisions of the plurality of agents, and (iii) modeling a behavior of each of the agents in view of the initial decisions; updating the weights assigned to the resources specific to each of the agents based at least in part on the revised decisions; and dynamically allocating resources in response to the resource allocation request based at least in part on the updated weights.
