The Role of Information in Distributed Resource Allocation
Abstract—Abstract load balancing with respect to the following aspects:
Typical control models.Typical resource optimization methods.Typical methods for achieving reliability.Typical coordination mechanisms among heterogeneous nodes.Typical models considering network structures. For each aspect, we summarize the existing studies and discuss the future research directions.Through the survey, the related studies in this area can be well understood based on how they can satisfy the general characteristics of distributed systems.This survey mainly categorizes and reviews the representative studies on task allocation and load balancing according to the general characteristics of varying distributed systems.
