The problem of deriving joint policies for a group of agents that maximize some joint reward function can be modeled as a decentralized partially observable Markov decision proces...

Measurement studies indicate a high rate of node dynamics in p2p systems. In this paper, we address the question of how high a rate of node dynamics can be supported by structured...
We address how to write programs for distributed computing systems in which the network topology can change dynamically. Examples of such systems, which we call ensembles, include ...

We propose two unstructured file sharing games, unilateral and bilateral unstructured file sharing games, to study the interaction among self-interested players (users) of unstruct...

In many practical scenarios, nodes gathering at points of interest yield sizable connected components (clusters), which sometimes comprise the majority of nodes. While recent anal...
