In this paper we formulate the static load balancing problem in single class job distributed systems as a cooperative game among computers. It is shown that the Nash Bargaining So...

In this paper we present a game theoretic approach to solve the static load balancing problem in a distributed system which consists of heterogeneous computers connected by a sing...
Scheduling divisible loads in distributed systems is the subject of Divisible Load Theory (DLT). In this paper we show that coalitional game theory is a natural fit for modeling ...
We investigate the price of anarchy of a load balancing game with K dispatchers. The service rates and holding costs are assumed to depend on the server, and the service disciplin...
We analyze the performance of protocols for load balancing in distributed systems based on no-regret algorithms from online learning theory. These protocols treat load balancing a...
