# Node Manager Selection

For selecting a Node Manager among available nodes, consider incorporating a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach, evaluating each node's reliability, connectivity, and computational capacity.

$$
S\_i = \omega\_1 \cdot R\_i + \omega\_2 \cdot C\_i + \omega\_3 \cdot P\_i
$$

Where:

* $$S\_i$$is the selection score of node $$ii$$,
* $$R\_i  , C\_i$$and $$P\_i$$represent the reliability score, connectivity score, and computational power of node $$i$$, respectively,
* $$ω\_1 , ω\_2$$ and $$ω\_3$$are weight factors assigned to each criterion based on importance.
