Decentralized decision making under uncertainty has been shown to be intractable when each agent has different partial information about the domain. Thus, improving the applicabil...
Sensors are used to monitor traffic in networks. For example, in transportation networks, they may be used to measure traffic volumes on given arcs and paths of the network. This p...
We propose an energy-based framework for approximating surfaces from a cloud of point measurements corrupted by noise and outliers. Our energy assigns a tangent plane to each (noi...
There is a large literature on the rate of convergence problem for general unconstrained stochastic approximations. Typically, one centers the iterate n about the limit point then...
Quorum systems are a mechanism for obtaining fault-tolerance and efficient distributed systems. We consider geographic quorum systems; a geographic quorum system is a partition of...
