—Consider the following Simultaneous Message Passing (SMP) model for computing a relation f ⊆ X ×Y ×Z. In this model Alice, on input x ∈ X and Bob, on input y ∈ Y, send o...
— We develop distributed scheduling schemes that are based on simple random access algorithms and that have no message passing. In spite of their simplicity, these schemes are sh...
Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...
We propose a fully distributed message passing algorithm based on expectation propagation for the purpose of sensor localization. Sensors perform noisy measurements of their mutual...
