Abstract
A request arrival rate is obtained at a given computing node in a computing network comprising a plurality of distributed computing nodes. A topology of the computing network is determined at the given computing node so as to identify neighboring computing nodes with respect to the given computing node. A probability is computed at the given computing node based on the obtained request arrival rate and the detected network topology. The computed probability is used to select a decision from a set of decision candidates in response to a request received at the given computing node in a given time slot. The selected decision is a decision with a top average reward attributed thereto across the given computing node and the neighboring computing nodes determined based on information shared by the neighboring computing node with the given computing node.
