We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication effici...
Transmitting compressed data can reduce inter-processor communication traffic and create new opportunities for DVS (dynamic voltage scaling) in distributed embedded systems. Howe...
— We consider problems where multiple agents must cooperate to control their individual state so as to optimize a common objective while communicating with each other to exchange...
— In this paper we propose a subgradient method for solving coupled optimization problems in a distributed way given restrictions on the communication topology. The iterative pro...
This paper describes a method for improving the final accuracy and the convergence speed of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) by adapting its inertia factor in the velocity updati...
