In this paper we consider the problem of maximising utility in linked market-driven distributed and Grid systems. In such systems, users submit jobs through brokers who can virtua...
Application-layer networks (ALN) are software architectures that allow the provisioning of services requiring a huge amount of resources by connecting large numbers of individual ...

A model of honey bee social foraging is introduced to create an algorithm that solves a class of optimal resource allocation problems. We prove that if several such algorithms (&q...
We study decision-theoretic planning or reinforcement learning in the presence of traps such as steep slopes for outdoor robots or staircases for indoor robots. In this case, achi...
Economic resource allocation in Application Layer Networks (such as Grids) is critical to allow applications and users to effectively exploit computational and data infrastructure...
