Abstract--In the design of distributed quantization systems one inevitably confronts two types of constraints--those imposed by a distributed system's structure and those impo...
Distributed problem solving by a multiagent system represents a promising approach to solving complex computational problems. However, many multiagent systems require certain degr...
We study how several collective operations like broadcast, reduction, scan, etc. can be composed efficiently in complex parallel programs. Our specific contributions are: (1) a fo...

Software architectural design is essential for complex distributed applications. Architectural specifications need to define the key aspects of the application, including its inte...

An important problem in distributed systems is to detect termination of a distributed computation. A computation is said to have terminated when all processes have become passive a...
