The performance of MPI collective operations, such as broadcast and reduction, is heavily affected by network topologies, especially in grid environments. Many techniques to cons...
In this article, a hybrid optimization method has been proposed consisting of modified ant colony systems (ACSs) and constrained nonlinear programming (NLP) to solve the problems ...
We introduce a simple new model of distributed computation — finite-state symmetric graph automata (FSSGA) — which captures the qualitative properties common to fault-toleran...
It is known that the most common versions of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms are rotationally variant. It has also been pointed out that PSO algorithms can concentrat...

We establish a new worst-case upper bound on the Membership problem: We present a simple algorithm that is able to always achieve Agreement on Views within a single message latenc...
