Socio-inspired Design Models for Software Systems Infrastructure

This paper outlines our charitable model, the technical challenges that drove the concept behind this model and the rationale behind its design. Social models such as the benefactor/beneficiary model of multi-agent distributed storage middlewarecan be successfully applied to many areas as a means of automating a wide variety of resource distribution challenges in both traditional and future distributed systems. An environment populated with many redundant components can benefit from a charitable entity, allowing wasted resources to be efficiently distributed to the network on a voluntary manner.
