Gossip-based epidemic protocols are used to aggregate data in distributed systems. This fault-tolerant approach does neither require maintenance of any global network state nor kno...
We address the problem of highly transient populations in unstructured and loosely-structured peerto-peer systems. We propose a number of illustrative query-related strategies and...
This paper investigates the effects of two different communication protocols within an artificial society, where communication and cooperation is necessary to survive. Communicat...
We explore the computational power of networks of small resource-limited mobile agents. We define two new models of computation based on pairwise interactions of finite-state ag...
