Proposal of an architecture for emergent control

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the implementation of distributed systems for monitoring and controlling different parameters. However, a major problem with this kind of systems is the control. One approach that is being explored for the manipulation of large distributed systems is the use of bio-inspired techniques. Some of these techniques allow the emergence of the control of the system from the combination of the interactions of its components. This type of control has been called Emergent Control. This paper proposes a general architecture for the implementation of Emergent Control and presents examples of its utilization for applications in which Emergent Control can be applied.
