—Large-scale agent-based systems are required to self-optimize towards multiple, potentially conflicting, policies of varying spatial and temporal scope. As a result, not all ag...
— We consider the design of a sensor network for detecting an emitter who if present is known to be located in an interval but whose exact position is unknown. We seek to minimiz...
We focus on the problem of distributing key updates in secure dynamic groups. Due to changes in group membership, the group controller needs to change and distribute the keys used...
Lately the advances in centralized database management systems show a trend towards supporting rank-aware query operators, like top-k, that enable users to retrieve only the most ...
Abstract— Biological systems achieve amazing adaptive behavior with local agents performing simple sensing and actions. Modular robots with similar properties can potentially ach...
