We consider a discrete time stochastic queueing system where a controller makes a 2-stage decision every slot. The decision at the first stage reveals a hidden source of randomness with a control-dependent (but unknown) probability…

We propose a self-organization scheme for cost-effective and load-balanced routing in multi-hop networks. To avoid overloading nodes that provide favourable routing conditions, we assign each node with a cost function that penalizes high…

In real-world networks the interactions between network elements are inherently time-delayed. These time-delays can not only slow the network but can have a destabilizing effect on the network's dynamics leading to poor performance. The…

Modern artificial intelligence relies on networks of agents that collect data, process information, and exchange it with neighbors to collaboratively solve optimization and learning problems. This article introduces a novel distributed…

We tackle in this paper an online network resource allocation problem with job transfers. The network is composed of many servers connected by communication links. The system operates in discrete time; at each time slot, the administrator…

In this paper, we derive and investigate approaches to dynamically load balance a distributed task parallel application software. The load balancing strategy is based on task migration. Busy processes export parts of their ready task queue…

This paper studies a constrained optimization problem over networked systems with an undirected and connected communication topology. The algorithm proposed in this work utilizes singular perturbation, dynamic average consensus, and saddle…

Many machine learning algorithms have been developed under the assumption that data sets are already available in batch form. Yet in many application domains data is only available sequentially overtime via compute nodes in different…

Betweenness is a well-known centrality measure that ranks the nodes of a network according to their participation in shortest paths. Since an exact computation is prohibitive in large networks, several approximation algorithms have been…

Motivated by broad applications in various fields of engineering, we study a network resource allocation problem where the goal is to optimally allocate a fixed quantity of resources over a network of nodes. We consider large scale networks…

For any stream of time-stamped edges that form a dynamic network, an important choice is the aggregation granularity that an analyst uses to bin the data. Picking such a windowing of the data is often done by hand, or left up to the…

In the weighted load balancing problem, the input is an $n$-vertex bipartite graph between a set of clients and a set of servers, and each client comes with some nonnegative real weight. The output is an assignment that maps each client to…

Load balancing across parallel servers is an important class of congestion control problems that arises in service systems. An effective load balancer relies heavily on accurate, real-time congestion information to make routing decisions.…

This paper studies the application of the blended dynamics approach towards distributed optimization problem where the global cost function is given by a sum of local cost functions. The benefits include (i) individual cost function need…

In this paper, we focus on the problem of data sharing over a wireless computer network (i.e., a wireless grid). Given a set of available data, we present a distributed algorithm which operates over a dynamically changing network, and…

Motivated by the need for robust and fast distributed computation in highly dynamic Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, we study algorithms for the fundamental distributed agreement problem. P2P networks are highly dynamic networks that experience…

Designing algorithms for balanced allocation of clients to servers in dynamic settings is a challenging problem for a variety of reasons. Both servers and clients may be added and/or removed from the system periodically, and the main…

We study the Task Completion problem, in which $M$ abstract tasks must be completed by a network of $n$ crash-prone nodes, where up to $\alpha n$ nodes may crash for some constant $\alpha<1$. Our main result is a deterministic…

The state-of-art of the technology focuses on data processing to deal with massive amount of data. Cloud computing is an emerging technology, which enables one to accomplish the aforementioned objective, leading towards improved business…

Healthcare systems are facing serious challenges in balancing their human resources to cope with volatile service demand, while at the same time providing necessary job satisfaction to the healthcare workers. We propose in this paper a…
