A mean field model of work stealing in large-scale systems
In this paper, we consider a generic model of computational grids, seen as several clusters of homogeneous processors. In such systems, a key issue when designing efficient job al...

Mean field for Markov Decision Processes: from Discrete to Continuous Optimization
We study the convergence of Markov Decision Processes made of a large number of objects to optimization problems on ordinary differential equations (ODE). We show that the optimal...

Mean-Field Analysis for the Evaluation of Gossip Protocols
—Gossip protocols are designed to operate in very large, decentralised networks. A node in such a network bases its decision to interact (gossip) with another node on its partial...

A mean field annealing approach to robust corner detection
—This paper is an extension of our previous paper to improve the capability of detecting corners. We proposed a method of boundary smoothing for curvature estimation using a cons...
