To compete or cooperate? This is the question in communities of autonomous services
作者：
Highlights：
• We formalize the question of competing or cooperating for communities of agent-based services.
• We use the game-theoretic best response technique to analyze competitive/cooperative behaviors of autonomous services within communities.
• We analyze the computational complexity of the proposed decision mechanism and prove its efficiency.
• We confirm the theoretical results through extensive simulation using real dataset of services on the web.
