Abstract
Self-organization and cooperation of agents in open societies play an important role in the success of the service discovery process. Self-organization allows agents to deal with dynamic requirements in service demand. Moreover, in distributed environments where service discovery is carried out by agents that only have a partial view of the system, cooperation with neighbors is a key issue in order to locate the required services. However, cooperation is not always present in open agent societies. With this motivation, we present a set of mechanisms that consider self-organization actions and incentives to adapt the structure of the society to the service demand and to promote a cooperative behavior among agents in open societies.
