Designing a wide-area distributed hash table (DHT) that provides high-throughput and low-latency network storage is a challenge. Existing systems have explored a range of solution...

We analyze the performance of protocols for load balancing in distributed systems based on no-regret algorithms from online learning theory. These protocols treat load balancing a...
IEEE 802.11 MAC, called the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF), employs carrier sensing to effectively avoid collisions, but this makes it difficult to maximally reuse the sp...
Multi-dimensional storage virtualization (MDSV) allows multiple virtual disks, each with a distinct combination of capacity, latency and bandwidth requirements, to be multiplexed ...
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) algorithms suffer from slow convergence and even divergence, especially in largescale systems. In this work, we develop an organization-b...
