Rendering networks and distributed systems self-managing and self-optimizing has become a major research focus. This task is especially important for systems, such as publish/subsc...
Image segmentation techniques are predominately based on parameter-laden optimization processes. The segmentation objective function traditionally involves parameters (i.e. weights...
Abstract— We consider a convex unconstrained optimization problem that arises in a network of agents whose goal is to cooperatively optimize the sum of the individual agent objec...
