Sensor and Actor Networks (SANETs) represent a specific class of massively distributed systems in which classical communication protocols often fail due to scalability problems. N...
This paper suggests an evolutionary approach to design coordination strategies, a key issue in distributed intelligent systems. We focus on competitive strategies in the form of f...
Inspired by the One Laptop Per Child project, we consider mesh networks that connect devices that cannot recharge their batteries easily. We study how the mesh should retransmit in...
Self-stabilization is a versatile approach to fault-tolerance since it permits a distributed system to recover from any transient fault that arbitrarily corrupts the contents of a...
Abstract. We describe a group membership protocol, called the timewheel group membership protocol, for a timed asynchronous distributed system. This protocol is a part of the timew...
