Decentralized resource allocation is a key problem for large-scale autonomic (or self-managing) computing systems. Motivated by a data center scenario, we explore efficient techn...

Regret based algorithms have been proposed to control a wide variety of multi-agent systems. The appeal of regretbased algorithms is that (1) these algorithms are easily implement...
Many applications require optimizing an unknown, noisy function that is expensive to evaluate. We formalize this task as a multiarmed bandit problem, where the payoff function is ...

Product recommendation and decision support systems must generally develop a model of user preferences by querying or otherwise interacting with a user. Recent approaches to elici...
This paper considers online stochastic optimization problems where time constraints severely limit the number of offline optimizations which can be performed at decision time and/...
