The literature on algorithmic mechanism design is mostly concerned with game-theoretic versions of optimization problems to which standard economic money-based mechanisms cannot b...
—Large scale production grids are a major case for autonomic computing. Following the classical definition of Kephart, an autonomic computing system should optimize its own beha...
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...
