EFFICIENT CONSTRAINT MONITORING USING ADAPTIVE THRESHOLDS

摘要

Methods for tracking anomalous behavior in a network referred to as non-zero slack schemes are provided. The non-zero slack schemes reduce the number of communication messages in the network necessary to monitor emerging large-scale, distributed systems using distributed computation algorithms by generating more optimal local constraints for each remote site in the system. The number of communication messages is reduced by generating local constraints based on probabilities and system costs associated with local alarm transmissions by the remote sites and a global poll in the network.
