Decentralized Control in Computer Communication.

摘要

In the decentralized control of computer communication it is appropriate to consider the controllers as having the same objective: the efficient operations of the communication medium. In this sense decentralized control of computer communication fits in the area of multi-person decision making that is designated as team theory. Section 2:1 was devoted to aspects of team theory, specifically to the introduction of the notions of symmetric team problems and symmetric solutions. For the purpose of introduction and immediate application it was sufficient to consider only finite team problems in strategic form. For the purpose of making the theory more complete it is important to extend the definition and analysis of symmetric team problems and symmetric solutions to team problems with an infinite number of possible strategies and to consider the problem in extensive form.
