Abstract
In this study we employ cellular programming to design both cooperative and competitive mechanisms that coordinate social interactions between computational units in distributed information processing systems. Through a series of experiments based upon computer simulations, it is argued that units supplied with a healthy amount of competitive attitude towards one another are beneficial for the robustness of the system as a whole. Moreover, we argue cooperative coordination mechanisms are only stable when we can rely on the structural integrity of all computational units in the system.
