A cost-effective approach to building up scalable Videoon-Demand (VoD) servers is to couple a number of VoD servers together in a cluster. In this article, we study a crucial vide...
— In this paper we develop a new dual decomposition method for optimizing a sum of convex objective functions corresponding to multiple agents but with coupled constraints. In ou...
Decentralized Markov Decision Processes (DEC-MDPs) are a popular model of agent-coordination problems in domains with uncertainty and time constraints but very difficult to solve...
Abstract— In this paper, we address the problem of providing traffic quality of service and energy efficiency in ad hoc wireless networks. We consider a network that is shared ...
