Book Distributed Optimization  Advances in Theories  Methods  and Applications

Download or read book Distributed Optimization Advances in Theories Methods and Applications written by Huaqing Li and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a valuable reference guide for researchers in distributed optimization and for senior undergraduate and graduate students alike. Focusing on the natures and functions of agents, communication networks and algorithms in the context of distributed optimization for networked control systems, this book introduces readers to the background of distributed optimization; recent developments in distributed algorithms for various types of underlying communication networks; the implementation of computation-efficient and communication-efficient strategies in the execution of distributed algorithms; and the frameworks of convergence analysis and performance evaluation. On this basis, the book then thoroughly studies 1) distributed constrained optimization and the random sleep scheme, from an agent perspective; 2) asynchronous broadcast-based algorithms, event-triggered communication, quantized communication, unbalanced directed networks, and time-varying networks, from a communication network perspective; and 3) accelerated algorithms and stochastic gradient algorithms, from an algorithm perspective. Finally, the applications of distributed optimization in large-scale statistical learning, wireless sensor networks, and for optimal energy management in smart grids are discussed.

Book Introduction to Distributed Algorithms

Download or read book Introduction to Distributed Algorithms written by Gerard Tel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-09-28 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed algorithms have been the subject of intense development over the last twenty years. The second edition of this successful textbook provides an up-to-date introduction both to the topic, and to the theory behind the algorithms. The clear presentation makes the book suitable for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses, whilst the coverage is sufficiently deep to make it useful for practising engineers and researchers. The author concentrates on algorithms for the point-to-point message passing model, and includes algorithms for the implementation of computer communication networks. Other key areas discussed are algorithms for the control of distributed applications (wave, broadcast, election, termination detection, randomized algorithms for anonymous networks, snapshots, deadlock detection, synchronous systems), and fault-tolerance achievable by distributed algorithms. The two new chapters on sense of direction and failure detectors are state-of-the-art and will provide an entry to research in these still-developing topics.

Book Detection of Global State Predicates

Download or read book Detection of Global State Predicates written by Keith A. Marzullo and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2. For all executions consistent with the observed behavior, there was some point in real time at which the global state of the system satisfied [Phi]. We refer to this property as definitely [Phi]. In this paper, we give formal definitions for these two interpretations and present algorithms for them. We give protocols for both asynchronous and synchronous systems and, for synchronous systems, give upper bounds on the time between the occurrence of the property of interest and the time a monitor detects the property."

Book Distributed Algorithms and Protocols

Download or read book Distributed Algorithms and Protocols written by Michel Raynal and published by . This book was released on 1988-03-09 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of distributed algorithms offers the prospect of great advances in computing speed. This book provides a clear, practical, and up-to-date guide to distributed algorithms and protocols in the area of control. Much of the material has been heretofore unavailable in English. Each chapter considers a specific aspect of control, with an analysis of the problem, a description of the algorithm for solving it, and proofs of correctness. Chapters can be studied independently to find solutions to particular problems.

Book Distributed Algorithms for Message Passing Systems

Download or read book Distributed Algorithms for Message Passing Systems written by Michel Raynal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed computing is at the heart of many applications. It arises as soon as one has to solve a problem in terms of entities -- such as processes, peers, processors, nodes, or agents -- that individually have only a partial knowledge of the many input parameters associated with the problem. In particular each entity cooperating towards the common goal cannot have an instantaneous knowledge of the current state of the other entities. Whereas parallel computing is mainly concerned with 'efficiency', and real-time computing is mainly concerned with 'on-time computing', distributed computing is mainly concerned with 'mastering uncertainty' created by issues such as the multiplicity of control flows, asynchronous communication, unstable behaviors, mobility, and dynamicity. While some distributed algorithms consist of a few lines only, their behavior can be difficult to understand and their properties hard to state and prove. The aim of this book is to present in a comprehensive way the basic notions, concepts, and algorithms of distributed computing when the distributed entities cooperate by sending and receiving messages on top of an asynchronous network. The book is composed of seventeen chapters structured into six parts: distributed graph algorithms, in particular what makes them different from sequential or parallel algorithms; logical time and global states, the core of the book; mutual exclusion and resource allocation; high-level communication abstractions; distributed detection of properties; and distributed shared memory. The author establishes clear objectives per chapter and the content is supported throughout with illustrative examples, summaries, exercises, and annotated bibliographies. This book constitutes an introduction to distributed computing and is suitable for advanced undergraduate students or graduate students in computer science and computer engineering, graduate students in mathematics interested in distributed computing, and practitioners and engineers involved in the design and implementation of distributed applications. The reader should have a basic knowledge of algorithms and operating systems.

Book Using the Jump Number Problem to Efficiently Detect Global Predicates in Distributed Systems

Download or read book Using the Jump Number Problem to Efficiently Detect Global Predicates in Distributed Systems written by Trokon Edward Clinton and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detecting global predicates of a distributed computation is a key problem in testing and debugging distributed programs. It consists of searching the global state space of events to determine whether a given predicate could have occurred. For example a programmer may be interested in verifying whether a parallel program violates a global invariant, or detect a race condition between concurrent threads. This is a challenging problem because the number of consistent global states can grow exponentially when the number of events in the computation increases. This paper presents techniques that tackle the state explosion problem and help detect whether an arbitrary predicate is true in polynomial time. We first present a brute force algorithm, and then improve the performance with an exact and heuristic algorithm inspired by the jump number problem.
