Abstract: The term “self-organisation” typically refers to the ability of large-scale systems consisting of numerous autonomous agents to establish and maintain their structure as a result of local interaction processes. The motivation to develop systems based on the principle of self-organisation is to counter complexity and to improve desired characteristics, such as robustness and context-adaptivity. In order to come up with a fair comparison between different possible solutions, a prerequisite is that the degree of self-organisation is quantifiable. Even though there are some attempts in literature that try to approach such a measure, there is none that is real-world applicable, covers the entire runtime process of a system, and considers agents as blackboxes (i.e. does not require internals about status or strategies). With this paper, we introduce a concept for such a metric that is based on external observations, neglects the internal behaviour and strategies of autonomous entities, and provides a continuous measure that allows for an easy comparibility.
