: Perhaps the two most significant theoretical questions about the programming of self-assembling agents are: (1) necessary and sufficient conditions to produce a unique terminal a...
Fast algorithms are presented for performing computations in a probabilistic population model. This is a variant of the standard population protocol model--in which finite-state ag...
A growing trend in the development and deployment of grid computing systems is decentralization. Decentralizing these systems helps make them more scalable and robust, but poses s...
In multicluster systems, and more generally, in grids, jobs may require co-allocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of resources such as processors and input files in multipl...
This paper presents a new ascending-price multi-unit auction protocol. As far as the authors are aware, this is the first protocol that has an open format, and in which sincere b...
