ABSTRACT
Decentralized algorithms are examined for optimally distributing a divisible resource in a distributed computer system. To study this problem in a specific context, the problem of optimal file allocation is considered. In this case, the optimization criteria include both the communication cost and average processing delay associated with a file access. The algorithms examined have their origins
