Book Description
A distributed processing system is defined as a collection of processor-memory pairs (hosts) that are physically and logically interconnected, with decentralized system-wide control of all resources, for the cooperative execution of application programs. Such systems may be dedicated to a single application or may implement a general purpose computing facility. By decentralized system-wide control is meant that there exists distributed resources in the system, that there is decentralized control of these resources (i.e., there is no single, central host in charge, nor is there a central state table), that there is system-wide cooperation between independent hosts which results in a single unified system. By system-wide cooperation is meant that the algorithms of the system operate for the good of the whole and not for a particular host. For systems meeting this restrictive definition of distributed processing, it is hypothesized that their reliability, extensibility, and performance will be better than a what is generally available today. In this report the term distributed processing refers to this very specific type of highly integrated distributed system. The major objective of this research project was to develop and compare decentralized scheduling algorithms for distributed processing systems.

Book Description
This book intends to inculcate the innovative ideas for the scheduling aspect in distributed computing systems. Although the models in this book have been designed for distributed systems, the same information is applicable for any type of system. The book will dramatically improve the design and management of the processes for industry professionals. It deals exclusively with the scheduling aspect, which finds little space in other distributed operating system books. Structured for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry, this book is also suitable as a reference for graduate-level students.

Book Description
Decentralized control reduces the need for expensive and delay inducing communication infrastructure. In this thesis we will present new algorithms for decentralized control of DC-segmented power systems and energy storages. DC-segmentation is a process in which a transmission system is divided into isolated AC subsystems connected to each other only by DC lines. It improves transient stability and increases the transmission capacity of a transmission system. We construct a poset-causal optimal decentralized controller for this system, which only requires neighbor-to-neighbor communication. In the second part of this thesis, we focus on multiple energy storages located in a distribution system with renewable generation. We use dynamic programming and inventory control theory to obtain optimal scheduling policies for the energy transactions of the storages. These policies are optimal and only require local information.
