We consider the problem of decentralized detection in a network consisting of a large number of nodes arranged as a tree of bounded height, under the assumption of conditionally in...
Resource allocation is a key problem in autonomic computing. In this paper we use a data center scenario to motivate the need for decentralization and cooperative negotiation, and...

Abstract. The success of Internet telephony services like Skype illustrates the feasibility of utilizing unstructured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks as an economical platform for supp...
— We focus on efficient protocols that enhance a network with topology awareness. We discuss centralized algorithms with provable performance, and introduce decentralized asynch...
