Resource Contention, Synchronization, and Information Structure in Distributed Systems.

Abstract

This research focused on two generic problems. The first deals with the situation where there is a finite number of discrete resources which must be allocated among a number of competing processes (users). The second problem concerns the (centralized) control of a stochastic system where information is collected by several 'local' sensors. The local sensors constitute a distributed data base. The control must be based on information obtained from this data base under the constraint of limited communication capacity. (Author)
