Modern distributed systems that have to avoid performance degradation and system overload require several runtime management decisions for load balancing and load sharing, overloa...
Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of optimizing over the switching times for a multi-modal dynamic system when the complete cost-to-go is not available. The instant...
In an open distributed system, computational resources are peer-owned, and distributed over time and space. The fact that these resources can dynamically join or leave the system (...
