Abstract--The problem of state estimation with initial state uncertainty is approached from a statistical decision theory point of view. The initial state is regarded as determinis...
This paper presents a new model for mobile processes in occam-π. A process, embedded anywhere in a dynamically evolving network, may suspend itself mid-execution, be safely discon...
This paper introduces a generalized framework, termed “stochastic cloning,” for processing relative state measurements within a Kalman filter estimator. The main motivation a...
We introduce a new abstract system, called the truth system. In the truth system, a process deduces a true value, with high probability, from an incoming stream of both true and fa...
We consider a networked control system, where each subsystem evolves as a Markov decision process (MDP). Each subsystem is coupled to its neighbors via communication links over wh...
