Macrosystems and grid technologies: dynamic stochastic network modeling

The paper discusses the development of Internet in the near-term outlook (Grid technologies) as a dynamic stochastic network whose state is characterized by the spatial distribution of data-processing resources and information flows. Based on the generalized entropy maximization principle, it offers the models of locally-steady states of the net, which are a component part of a data-processing resources evolution model. This model is classified as a positive dynamic system with an entropy operator.
