A new approach of coordination of decisions in a multi site system is proposed. It is based this approach on a multi-agent concept and on the principle of distributed network of e...
We introduce a generic framework for the distributed execution of combinatorial optimization tasks. Instead of relying on custom hardware (like dedicated parallel machines or clus...
The Grid community is actively working on defining, deploying and standardizing protocols, mechanisms, and infrastructure to support decentralized, seamless, and secure interacti...
Negotiation techniques have been demonstrated to be effective in solving complex multi-objective problems. When the optimization process operates on continuous variables, it can b...
Shared resource pools are facilities featuring a certain amount of resources which can be used by different applications. For managing resources in such pools, the demand of each ...
