A method and system for managing resources in telecommunications services and networks. The method and system regard execution of processes by distributed agents on processing machines to perform predetermined tasks on the network, and are characterized by setting target data including goals on processes and constraints on resource utilization to be met by the system; monitoring computational resources utilization and processes execution by agents, and collecting performance data representative of resource utilization and process execution; comparing the collected performance data with the set data, a penalty being established when performance data do not fulfill target data; and re-allocating resources for process execution by agents so as to minimize the penalty determined on the basis of the comparison.

A method for operating a node of a communication network including a plurality of peer-to-peer nodes, the node being linked with predetermined neighbor nodes among the plurality of peer-to-peer nodes, includes: a) storing, on a first storage area, node information indicative of predetermined data required by the node to become an information provider node; b) waiting to receive from at least one information provider node of the neighbor nodes describing information of data that can be provided by the information provider node; c) at the receipt of the describing information from the at least one information provider node, checking in the first storage area if the data that can be provided by the at least one information provider node match at least in part the predetermined data required by the node; d) in the affirmative, deleting in the first storage area the node information indicative of the matching data; and e) in the negative, forwarding the describing information received in c) to at least one of the plurality of peer-to-peer nodes.
