Distributed gradient optimization for epidemic routing: A preliminary evaluation
Giovanni Neglia, Giuseppe Rèina, Sara Alouf · 2009
In this paper we address the problem of designing adaptive epidemic-style forwarding mechanisms for message delivery in Delay Tolerant Networks. Our approach is based on a new analytical framework for multi-agent optimization through distributed subgradient methods. We investigate how this framework can be adapted to the considered networking problem and perform a preliminary evaluation, which shows promising results in terms of convergence speed.
