The scalarization approach for multi-objective optimization of network resource allocation in distributed systems

Abstract

The paper presents a multi-objective optimization framework to the network resource allocation problem, where the aim is to maximize the bitrates of data generated by all agents executed in a distributed system environment. In the proposed approach, the utility functions of agents may have different forms, which allows a more realistic modeling of phenomena occurring in computer networks. A scalarizing approach has been applied to solve the optimization problem.
