In this paper, we present a Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) policy for problems characterized by a highly irregular search tree, whereby no reliable workload prediction is available....
The popularity of distributed learning and the continued growth in the number of colleges and universities offering courses delivered entirely via asynchronous learning networks (...
We formulate and study a decentralized multi-armed bandit (MAB) problem. There are distributed players competing for independent arms. Each arm, when played, offers i.i.d. reward a...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
For an autonomous physical agent, such as a moving robot or a person with their mobile device, performing a task in a spatio-temporal environment often requires interaction with ot...
