1. A networking system for controlling an allocation of at least one physical resource by at least one automated control within a network having a changing network state associated with a network state risk, based on a received control signal, comprising: a memory configured to store parameters of a network model, comprising a first set of stored values representing an estimate of the changing network state; an automated arbitrage agent, comprising at least one automated processor and being operationally associated with the memory and the automated communication network interface port, configured to: engage in a negotiation of an automatic arbitrage transaction based on at least (a) an analysis of the network state risk and (b) a self-interest of the automated arbitrage agent, with at least one automated counterparty, with respect to a communication of information relating to the first set of stored values, the negotiation comprising at least one automated communication through the automated communication network interface port, engage in the transaction comprising a communication of at least a portion of information defining the estimate of the changing network state through the automated communication network interface port, update the network model; and generate the control signal selectively dependent on the updated network model; and an output of the automated arbitrage agent configured to communicate at least one of the generated control signal and information dependent on the generated control signal.
