1. A method for continually controlling the collective behavior of a set of computing devices in a distributed data processing system, the method comprising:

  • disseminating a specification request from a gateway node to the set of computing devices, wherein the specification request comprises a set of parameters, and wherein the gateway node is unaware of a number and identity of individual computing nodes in the set of computing devices;

    observing quality of information values communicated from the set of computing devices; and

    iteratively modifying the parameters disseminated in subsequent specification requests based on a divergence between a computed quality of information value and a desired quality of information value.
