Abstract

We investigate a synchrony in a self-repairing network of autonomous agents capable of repairing mutually. In this paper, we define two models: a synchronous model and asynchronous one. They differ in the timing when the agents change their state. Computer simulations revealed that the synchronous model has a critical point, while the asynchronous one does not. We also studied a repair scheme in asynchronous model where the repaired agents in turn repair neighbor agents successively in a chain-reactive fashion. Performance of the scheme has been examined by computer simulations.
