Abstract:
Techniques for transmitting data according to at least one quality of service requirement. A message path is calculated specifying a sequence of broker computers selected from a network of interconnected broker computers. The message path is statistically estimated to fulfill the at least one quality of service requirement. Quality of service metrics are received about the network of interconnected broker computers. If the message path is determined not to fulfill the quality of service requirement, a new message path is calculated specifying a new sequence of broker computers selected from the network of interconnected broker computers. The new message path is statistically estimated to fulfill the at least one quality of service requirement.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for managing a commodity resource in a distributed network by aggregating marginal demand functions or marginal supply functions, depending on whether a node is a commodity consumer or a commodity producer, and determining an optimal allocation/production based on the aggregated function. By way of example, the commodity being managed may be an energy-based commodity such as electrical energy. In such case, the distributed commodity resource-based network may be a distributed electrical grid network.
Abstract:
An exemplary method of resource allocation is provided. A relationship is estimated between at least one controlled resource and at least one dependent parameter (205). A resource allocation of the at least one controlled resource is adjusted to effect a desired system goal expressed in terms of the at least one dependent parameter (210).
