A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different site...
: We consider a well known distributed coloring game played on a simple connected graph: initially, each vertex is colored black or white; at each round, each vertex simultaneously...
This paper presents a coordination algorithm for mobile autonomous robots. Relying upon distributed sensing, the robots achieve rendezvous, that is, they move to a common location....
Probabilistic timed automata, a variant of timed automata extended with discrete probability distributions, is a specification formalism suitable for describing both nondeterminis...
