Fig. 7. Behavior of v i * under stable decision model<br />

The effects of the stability on performance are shown in Table 1. QoS is improved<br />

significantly when using the stable decision model. Improved prediction accuracy made the<br />

system behaving stable <strong>and</strong> consequently performing better.<br />

7. Decentralization<br />

The next question is how to decentralize the programming model. Centralized control<br />

mechanisms scale badly, due to the rapid increase of computational <strong>and</strong> communicational<br />

overheads with system size. Single point failure will often lead to failure of the complete system<br />

leading to a non-robust network. Decentralization can address these issues by distributing the<br />

computations <strong>and</strong> communications to multiple entities. In addition to these properties
