....that consists of a local distribution of the load, i.e. between the machines inside a group. A second inter group load distribution strategy takes into account the load distribution within a given group, and extends the action of distribution throughout the entire network. Billard and Pasquale [3] is interested in decisionmaking agents that have access to resources in a distributed system and whose goal is to improve performance in some application domain. For example, job schedulers can share a set of processors where some processors may be lightly loaded when others are heavily loaded. ....

....learning and the interpretation of load balancing we adopt. Much work has been devoted in the recent years to distributed and adaptive load balancing. One can find related work in the field of distributed computer systems (e.g. Pulidas, Towsley, Stankovic, 1988; Mirchandaney Stankovic, 1986; Billard Pasquale, 1993; Glockner Pasquale, 1993; Mirchandaney, Towsley, Stankovic, 1989; Zhou, 1988; Eager, Lazowska, Zahorjan, 1986) in organization theory and management science (e.g. Malone, 1. In many applications the capacities of the resources are known, at least to some extent. This point will be ....
....tool for adaptive load balancing and our work. Much is left to be done in attempting to bridge this gap. We see this as a major challenge for further research. 9. Related Work In Section 2 we mentioned some related work in the field of distributed computer systems (Mirchandaney Stankovic, 1986; Billard Pasquale, 1993; Glockner Pasquale, 1993; Mirchandaney et al. 1989; Zhou, 1988; Eager et al. 1986) A typical example of such work is the paper by Mirchandaney and Stankovic (1986) In this work learning automata are used in order to decide on the action to be taken. However, the suggested algorithms heavily ....

....exacerbated by the delay in communication between the agents. In particular, we examine agents which use the feedback mechanism of stochastic learning automata [9, 10, 6] to carry out the search for optimal group formation but subject to aged information concerning the other agents strategies. In [3, 12], we introduce the model of distributed game automata (Fig. 4) and we will provide a summary of its features here. Each agent, or player, in a distributed system is modeled as an automaton with three main features. First, each agent i has a local variable, the clustering probability c ij , which ....
....In the next section, we study the effects of different periods of communication on this adaptive search for group formation. V. Summary of Results We are interested in resource allocation and, in particular, distributed job schedulers whose goal is to balance the load on a set of processors. In [3, 12], we detail an application where the job streams consist of producer consumer pairs and illustrate how the decision to work together or to work alone can affect performance. In the particular application, the job schedulers can expect modest performance if they decide to work alone. If the ....

.... We are considering a number of prediction models based on game theory (agents within a group playing games, and groups playing games against each other) and learning automata (adaptive algorithms based on environmental feedback which reinforce or break down inter agent relationships) In [BP93], we investigate how delayed communication affects the dynamic formation of groups in distributed systems, where all decision making agents join the same group because each expects to improve its own performance. For example, distributed job schedulers may form a group to utilize the idle ....
