Decentralised economic resource allocation for computational grids

Grid computing is the concept of harnessing the power of many computational resources in a transparent manner. It is currently an active research area, with significant challenges due to the scale and level of heterogeneity involved. One of the key challenges in implementing grid systems is resource allocation. Currently, centralised approaches are employed that have limited scalability and rel...

Multi-level State Estimation in an Outdoor Decentralised Sensor Network

Decentralised estimation of heterogeneous sensors is performed on an outdoor network. Attributes such as position, appearance, and identity represented by non-Gaussian distributions are used in in the fusion process. It is shown here that real-time decentralised data fusion of non-Gaussian estimates can be used to build rich environmental maps. Human operators are also used as additional sensor...

Decentralised Process Enactment

The ViewPoints framework for distributed and concurrent software engineering provides an alternative approach to traditional centralised software development environments. We investigate the use of decentralised process models to drive consistency checking and connict resolution in this framework. Our process models use pattern matching on local development histories to determine the particular...
