Probabilistic decentralised control and message passing framework for future grid

Unifying Framework for Message Passing

Theoretical models are difficult to apply for the analysis of practical message passing systems used today. We propose a model which can be used for such an analysis. Our framework for message passing is in many ways similar to the framework for transactional database systems. The abstract message passing system is defined in our framework independently of hardware, operating system and means o...

The Generic Message Passing Framework

This paper presents the design and implementation of the Generic Message Passing framework (GMP). The design of the GMP is guided by two goals: programmer productivity and run-time performance—particularly for parallel systems having both shared and distributed memory (e.g., clusters of SMPs). To achieve these goals simultaneously, the GMP uses a generic programming paradigm, allowing it to int...

Probabilistic Inference Based Message-Passing for Resource Constrained DCOPs

Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) is an important framework for coordinated multiagent decision making. We address a practically useful variant of DCOP, called resource-constrained DCOP (RC-DCOP), which takes into account agents’ consumption of shared limited resources. We present a promising new class of algorithm for RC-DCOPs by translating the underlying coordination problem to prob...
