In the field of cloud computing, resource sharing, and task prioritization are primary problem
domains. These problems can be resolved with efficient resource allocation. An efficient …

A multi-agent system (MAS) is a dynamic system that consists of a group of interacting
agents distributed over a network. In the past decades, the study of distributed coordination …

A noticeable objective of this work is to experiment and test an optimization problem through
comparing hillclimbing method with a hybrid method combining hill-climbing and Latin …

The rapid development of mobile communication technology not only brings great
convenience to users, but also brings the risk of user data privacy leakage. Due to the …

In this paper, we obtain a set of pairwise stable outcomes in two-sided hybrid matching
market with price externalities. In this market, the valuation of agents depends upon money …

The capabilities of and demand for complex autonomous multi-agent systems, including
networks of unmanned aerial vehicles and mobile robots, are rapidly increasing in both …

Employing simultaneous information and power transfer (SWIPT) technology in cooperative
relaying networks has drawn considerable attention from the research community. We can …

Cloud computing provisions and allocates resources, in advance or real-time, to dynamic
applications planned for execution. This is a challenging task as the Cloud-Service …

The consensus problem with asymmetric confidence intervals considered in this paper is
characterized by the fact that each agent can have optimistic and/or pessimistic interactions …

Distributed coordination in networked systems since their inception has attracted much
research attention across computer science, system theory, control engineering, applied …
