Abstract
Autonomous Decentralized Mechanism (ADM) is actively discussed to realize a scalable control scheme for large-scale is wide-area systems. The previous work has proposed the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based ADM for indirectly controlling the entire system, but has not fully discussed the impact of environmental fluctuation on its robustness. In this paper, we propose a method to enhance the robustness of the MCMC-based ADM against severe environmental fluctuations. In the proposed method, each node adjusts the control parameter of the MCMC-based ADM to absorb environmental fluctuations. In addition, we apply the proposed method to virtual machine (VM) assignment problem in data centers. Through simulation experiment, we clarify the effectiveness of the proposed method for severe environmental fluctuation.
