Nowadays, deployment of distributed systems sets high requirements for procedures and tools for the complex testing of these systems - virtualization and cloud technologies make another level of system complexity. As a possible solution, it…

Exchangeable random graphs serve as an important probabilistic framework for the statistical analysis of network data. In this work we develop an alternative parameterization for a large class of exchangeable random graphs, where the nodes…

We consider a probabilistic model for large-scale task allocation problems for multi-agent systems, aiming to determine an optimal deployment strategy that minimizes the overall transport cost. Specifically, we assign transportation agents…

In this study, we develop a method for multi-task manifold learning. The method aims to improve the performance of manifold learning for multiple tasks, particularly when each task has a small number of samples. Furthermore, the method also…

This paper presents a machine learning strategy that tackles a distributed optimization task in a wireless network with an arbitrary number of randomly interconnected nodes. Individual nodes decide their optimal states with distributed…

This paper investigates the effect of network topology on the fair allocation of network resources among a set of agents, an all-important issue for the efficiency of transportation networks all around us. We analyse a generic mechanism…

In this paper, we investigate the distributed convex optimization problem over a multi-agent system with Markovian switching communication networks. The objective function is the sum of each agent's local objective function, which cannot be…

This work explores hypernetworks: an approach of using a one network, also known as a hypernetwork, to generate the weights for another network. Hypernetworks provide an abstraction that is similar to what is found in nature: the…

Quality improvement methods are essential to gathering high-quality crowdsourced data, both for research and industry applications. A popular and broadly applicable method is task assignment that dynamically adjusts crowd workflow…

In modern computer systems, jobs are divided into short tasks and executed in parallel. Empirical observations in practical systems suggest that the task service times are highly random and the job service time is bottlenecked by the…

Multiagent systems consist of agents that locally exchange information through a physical network subject to a graph topology. Current control methods for networked multiagent systems assume the knowledge of graph topologies in order to…

We consider a social learning problem, where a network of agents is interested in selecting one among a finite number of hypotheses. We focus on weakly-connected graphs where the network is partitioned into a sending part and a receiving…

This paper proposes an innovative end-to-end deterministic network mechanism to achieve delay-bounded transmissions across multiple network domains. The proposed mechanism installs discrete shapers at the edge of the network domains, which…

There is a growing demand for live, on-the-fly processing of increasingly large amounts of data. In order to ensure the timely and reliable processing of streaming data, a variety of distributed stream processing architectures and platforms…

This paper introduces a novel bio-mimetic approach for distributed control of robotic swarms, inspired by the collective behaviors of swarms in nature such as schools of fish and flocks of birds. The agents are assumed to have limited…

In this Letter we propose a method to control a set of arbitrary nodes in a directed network such that they follow a synchronous trajectory which is, in general, not shared by the other units of the network. The problem is inspired to those…

The shift of power systems toward a smarter grid has brought devices such as distributed generators and smart loads with an increase of the operational challenges for the system operator. These challenges are related to the real-time…

We consider a sharing economy network where agents embedded in a graph share their resources. This is a fundamental model that abstracts numerous emerging applications of collaborative consumption systems. The agents generate a random…

This paper proposes networked dynamics to solve resource allocation problems over time-varying multi-agent networks. The state of each agent represents the amount of used resources (or produced utilities) while the total amount of resources…

In this paper, we propose a distributed multi-stage optimization method for planning complex missions for heterogeneous multi-robot teams. This class of problems involves tasks that can be executed in different ways and are associated with…
