Decentralised computer systems
… architecture of the Web was designed to enable decentralised exchange of information. Early architects envisioned an egalitarian yet organic society thriving in cyberspace. The reality of the Web today, unfortunately, does not bear out these visions: information networks have repeatedly shown a …

Secure decentralised storage networks
… a loss of utility of the service.In contrast, a decentralised service and storage architecture removes the single point of failure from a network, and allows users to remove their dependency on a single company or service provider. In addition, by preventing storage providers from having access …

Decentralised Algorithms for Wireless Networks.
… APs, but needs to be carried out in a decentralised way because often APs belong to different administrative domains, or communication between APs is unfeasible. Tools for managing unplanned deployment are also becoming important for other small cell networks, such as femtocell …

Decentralised coordination of information gathering agents
… main contributions of this thesis are decentralised coordination algorithms that solve this general problem with additional constraints and requirements, and can be grouped into two categories. The first category pertains to decentralised coordination of fixed information gathering …

Decentralised control of wireless sensor networks
… the ability to cope with dynamism. Given this, decentralised approaches are appealing. But, the design of efficient decentralised regimes is challenging as it introduces an additional control issue related to the dynamic interactions between the network’s interconnected<br/>nodes in the absence …

Decentralised network prediction and reconstruction algorithms
This study concerns the decentralised prediction and reconstruction problems in a network. First of all, we propose a decentralised prediction algorithm in the framework of network consensus problem. It allows any individual to compute the consensus value of the whole network in finite time using …

EFFICIENT RUNTIME SECURITY SYSTEM FOR DECENTRALISED DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
Distributed systems can be defined as systems that are scattered over geographical distances and provide different activities through communication, processing, data transfer and so on. Thus, increasing the cooperation, efficiency, and reliability to deal with users and data resources jointly. For …

Multi-agent coordination for dynamic decentralised task allocation
… variable values. Given its ubiquity, a number of decentralised algorithms for solving such problems exist, including DPOP, ADOPT, and the GDL family of algorithms. In this thesis, we examine the anatomy of the above-mentioned DCOP algorithms and highlight their shortcomings with regard to their …

Dynamic trust negotiation for decentralised e-health collaborations
… contracts, thereby bridging the gap that makes decentralised security policies difficult to define and enforce. Furthermore, DTN shows how n-tier negotiation hops can limit the disclosure of access control policies and how semantic issues that exist with security attributes in decentralised …

The design of decentralised controllers for large scale systems
Decentralised control schemes are becoming more common in industry as the advantages of decentralised control become more apparent. These advantages include fewer tuning parameters than centralised controllers, the simplification and cost reduction of hardware requirements and greater reliability. …
