— With the expansion of cloud-based services, the question as to how to control usage of such large distributed systems has become increasingly important. Load balancing (LB), an...
In this work, we propose two high-level formalisms, Markov Decision Petri Nets (MDPNs) and Markov Decision Well-formed Nets (MDWNs), useful for the modeling and analysis of distrib...

- Multi-agent systems (MASs) have become an important topic in distributed systems research. These distributed multi-agent systems call for special software modeling methods that e...
—Designing efficient scheduling algorithms is an important problem in a general class of networks with resourcesharing constraints, such as wireless networks and stochastic proc...
