Abstract: Research in sociology studies the effectiveness of social networks in achieving computational tasks. Typically the agents who are supposed to achieve a task are unaware o...
—In a sensor network, in practice, the communication among sensors is subject to: 1) errors that can cause failures of links among sensors at random times; 2) costs; and 3) const...
Consensus is known to be a fundamental problem in fault-tolerant distributed systems. Solving this problem provides the means for distributed processes to agree on a single value....
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating the state of a dynamical system from distributed noisy measurements. Each agent constructs a local estimate based on its own m...
Abstract. We consider the problem of bootstrapping self-organized mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), i.e. reliably determining in a distributed and self-organized manner the services ...
