Abstract

In this paper, we consider several mathematical and algorithmic problems which arise naturally in the optimal deployment of modern network management systems. Specifically, we will consider the problem of minimizing the total communication costs within an architecture consisting of a distributed hierarchy of cooperating intelligent agents. We consider several communication cost models, and describe provable optimal schemes for distributing agents among machines in each of these models.
