In decentralized systems, nodes often need to coordinate to access shared resources in a fair manner. One approach to perform such arbitration is to rely on auction mechanisms. Although there is an extensive literature that studies…

Allocation of resources and their control over multiple organisations is challenging. This is especially true for a large-scale and dynamic system like the Internet of Things (IoT). One of the core issues in such a system is the provision…

Computational Grids are a new trend in distributed computing systems. They allow the sharing of geographically distributed resources in an efficient way, extending the boundaries of what we perceive as distributed computing. Various…

Modern manufacturing systems require adaptive computing infrastructures that can respond to highly dynamic workloads and increasingly customized production demands. The compute continuum emerges as a promising solution, enabling flexible…

We consider robust resource allocation of services in Clouds. More specifically, we consider the case of a large public or private Cloud platform that runs a relatively small set of large and independent services. These services are…

Engaging all content providers, including newcomers or minority demographic groups, is crucial for online platforms to keep growing and working. Hence, while building recommendation services, the interests of those providers should be…

This paper deals with energy management in a district where multiple buildings can communicate over a time-varying network and aim at optimizing the use of shared resources like storage systems. We focus on building cooling, and propose an…

We present the Pluggable Distributed Resource Allocator (PDRA), a middleware for distributed computing in heterogeneous mobile robotic networks. PDRA enables autonomous robotic agents to share computational resources for computationally…

With the rise of distributed energy resources and sector coupling, distributed optimization can be a sensible approach to coordinate decentralized energy resources. Further, district heating, heat pumps, cogeneration, and sharing concepts…

Distributed system architectures such as cloud computing or the emergent architectures of the Internet Of Things, present significant challenges for security and privacy. Specifically, in a complex application there is a need to securely…

Handling the massive number of devices needed in numerous applications such as smart cities is a major challenge given the scarcity of spectrum resources. Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) is seen as a potential candidate to support the…

This paper studies the optimal resource allocation problem within a multi-agent network composed of both autonomous agents and humans. The main challenge lies in the globally coupled constraints that link the decisions of autonomous agents…

Grid computing has emerged as an effective means of facilitating the sharing of distributed heterogeneous resources, enabling collaboration in large scale environments. However, the nature of Grid systems, coupled with the overabundance and…

Decentralizing the governance of social computing systems to communities promises to empower them to make independent decisions, with nuance and in accordance with their values. Yet, communities do not govern in isolation. Many problems…

Resource allocation and scheduling in multi-agent systems present challenges due to complex interactions and decentralization. This survey paper provides a comprehensive analysis of distributed algorithms for addressing the distributed…

In order to evaluate, compare, and tune graph algorithms, experiments on well designed benchmark sets have to be performed. Together with the goal of reproducibility of experimental results, this creates a demand for a public archive to…

Aiming to support a cross-sector and cross-border eGovernance paradigm for sharing common public services, this paper introduces an AI-enhanced solution that enables beneficiaries to participate in a decenntralized network for effective big…

Executing distributed cyber-physical software processes on edge devices that maintains the resiliency of the overall system while adhering to resource constraints is quite a challenging trade-off to consider for developers. Current…

In a smart grid environment, we study coalition formation of prosumers that aim at entering the energy market. It is paramount for the grid operation that the energy producers are able to sustain the grid demand in terms of stability and…

In this tutorial, we present an authorization model for distributed systems that operate with limited internet connectivity. Reliable internet access remains a luxury for a majority of the world's population. Even for those who can afford…
