This paper considers the fundamental problem of bandwidth allocation among flows in a packet-switched network. The classical max-min rate allocation has been widely regarded as a fair rate allocation policy. But, for a flow with a minimum rate requirement and a peak rate constraint, the classical max-min policy no longer suffices to determine rate allocation since it is not capable of supporting either the minimum rate or the peak rate constraint from a flow. In this paper, we generalize the theory of the classical max-min rate allocation with the support of both the minimum rate and peak rate constraints for each flow. Additionally, to achieve generalized max-min rate allocation in a fully distributed packet network, we present a distributed algorithm that uses a feedback- based flow control mechanism. Our design not only offers a fresh perspective on flow marking technique, but also advances the state-of-the-art flow marking technique favored by other researchers. We provide proof that such a distributed algorithm, through asynchronous iterations, will always converge to the generalized max-min rate allocation under any network configuration and any set of link distances. We use simulation results to demonstrate the fast convergence property of the distributed algorithm.

We investigate the problem of power balancing in a general renewable-integrated power grid with storage and flexible loads. We consider a power grid that is supplied by one conventional generator (CG) and multiple renewable generators (RGs) each co-located with storage, and is additionally connected with external markets. An aggregator operates the power grid and aims at minimizing the long-term system cost. We propose a distributed real-time power balancing solution, taking into account the uncertainty of the renewable generation, loads, and energy prices. We demonstrate that our proposed algorithm is asymptotically optimal as the storage capacity increases and the CG ramping constraint loosens. The distributed implementation enjoys a fast convergence rate and enables each RG and the aggregator to make their own decisions.

Proportional fairness (PF) scheduling achieves a balanced tradeoff between throughput and fairness and has attracted great attention recently. However, most previous work on PF only considers the single cell scenario. This paper focuses on the problem of achieving network-wide PF in a generalized multiple base station multiple user network. The problem is formulated as a maximization model and solved using the dual method. By decomposing the dual objective function, we get a distributed pricing based algorithm. Optimality of this algorithm is presented. Although the algorithm is derived using fixed link rate assumption, it can still apply in the presence of time-varying rates. The proposed algorithm is suitable for distributed systems in the sense that it does not need any inter base station communication at all. Simulations illustrate that the proposed distributed network-wide PF scheduling algorithm achieves almost the same performance as the centralized one. Compared with traditional local PF (LPF) scheduling, the network-wide PF scheduling achieves higher throughput, lower throughput oscillation, and greater fairness.

In recent years, the smart grid has been recognized as an important form of the Internet of Things (IoT). The two-way energy and information flows in a smart gird, together with the smart devices, bring about new perspectives to energy management. This paper investigates a distributed online algorithm for electricity distribution in a smart grid environment. We first present a formulation that captures the key design factors such as user's utility, grid load smoothing, and energy provisioning cost. The problem is shown to be convex and can be solved with a centralized online algorithm that only requires present information about users and the grid in our prior work. In this paper, we develop a distributed online algorithm that decomposes and solves the online problem in a distributed manner, and prove that the distributed online solution is asymptotically optimal. The proposed distributed online algorithm is also practical and mitigates the user privacy issue by not sharing user utility functions. It is evaluated with trace-driven simulations and shown to outperform a benchmark scheme.

Twitter is one of the most powerful social media platforms, reflecting both support and contrary opinions among people who use it. In a recent work, we developed an argumentative approach for analyzing the major opinions accepted and rejected in Twitter discussions. A Twitter discussion is modeled as a weighted argumentation graph where each node denotes a tweet, each edge denotes a relationship between a pair of tweets of the discussion and each node is attached to a weight that denotes the social relevance of the corresponding tweet in the discussion. In the social network Twitter, a tweet always refers to previous tweets in the discussion, and therefore the underlying argument graph obtained is acyclic. However, when in a discussion we group the tweets by author, the graph that we obtain can contain cycles. Based on the structure of graphs, in this work we introduce a distributed algorithm to compute the set of globally accepted opinions of a Twitter discussion based on valued argumentation. To understand the usefulness of our distributed algorithm, we study cases of argumentation graphs that can be solved efficiently with it. Finally, we present an experimental investigation that shows that when solving acyclic argumentation graphs associated with Twitter discussions our algorithm scales at most with linear time with respect to the size of the discussion. For argumentation graphs with cycles, we study tractable cases and we analyze how frequent are these cases in Twitter. Moreover, for the non-tractable cases we analyze how close is the solution of the distributed algorithm with respect to the one computed with the general sequential algorithm, that we have previously developed, that solves any argumentation graph.

The increasingly complex modern energy network arouses the need of flexible and dependable approaches to solve the economic dispatch problem (EDP) in the smart grids. Toward this end, this paper develops a fresh distributed algorithm with constant step-size, which aims to schedule the power generation among generators by complying with individual generation capacity limits to satisfy the total load demand at the minimized cost. The convergence of the proposed algorithm is analyzed through utilizing the Lyapunov method and the spectral decomposition technique. When the selected constant step-size is smaller than a specifically provided upper bound, the theoretical analysis demonstrates that the proposed algorithm can linearly achieve the optimal solution of the EDP under the smooth and strongly convex assumption on generation cost functions. In particular, the linear convergence rate of the proposed algorithm is tunable, and a relationship among the linear convergence rate, generation cost functions, network topology, weight matrix and constant step-size is established. The availability of the proposed algorithm is verified through simulation experiments.

The increased complexity of modern energy network raises the necessity of flexible and reliable methods for smart grid operation. To this end, this article is centered on the economic dispatch problem (EDP) in smart grids, which aims at scheduling generators to meet the total demand at the minimized cost. This article proposes a fully distributed algorithm to address the EDP over directed networks and takes into account communication delays and noisy gradient observations. In particular, the rescaling gradient technique is introduced in the algorithm design and the implementation of the distributed algorithm only resorts to row-stochastic weight matrices, which allows each generator to locally allocate the weights on the messages received from its in-neighbors. It is proved that the optimal dispatch can be achieved under the assumptions that the nonidentical constant communication delays inflicting on each link are uniformly bounded and the noises embroiled in gradient observation of every generator are bounded variance zero mean. Simulations are provided to validate and testify the effectiveness of the presented algorithm.
