We present a new hybrid algorithm for local search in distributed combinatorial optimization. This method is a mix between classical local search methods in which nodes take decis...
We present DiPerF, a distributed performance-testing framework, aimed at simplifying and automating service performance evaluation. DiPerF coordinates a pool of machines that test...

Tightly-coupled interaction is shared work in which each person's actions immediately and continuously influence the actions of others. Tightly-coupled collaboration is a hal...
This paper introduces AntNet, a novel approach to the adaptive learning of routing tables in communications networks. AntNet is a distributed, mobile agents based Monte Carlo syst...
We consider a distributed multi-agent network system where the goal is to minimize a sum of agent objective functions subject to a common set of constraints. For this problem, we p...
