We introduce a generic framework for the distributed execution of combinatorial optimization tasks. Instead of relying on custom hardware (like dedicated parallel machines or clus...
We consider the decentralized Bayesian binary hypothesis testing problem in feedback architectures, in which the fusion center broadcasts information based on the messages of some...
— In this paper, the problem of optimizing the performances of a distributed supply chain is faced by means of a decentralized architecture. In particular, a general scheme for a...
The problem of deriving joint policies for a group of agents that maximize some joint reward function can be modeled as a decentralized partially observable Markov decision proces...

Resource allocation is a key problem in autonomic computing. In this paper we use a data center scenario to motivate the need for decentralization and cooperative negotiation, and...
