Coordination within decentralized agent groups frequently requires reaching global consensus, but typical hierarchical approaches to reaching such decisions can be complex, slow, ...
Fault tolerant algorithms are often designed under the t-out-of-n assumption, which is based on the assumption that all processes or components fail independently with equal proba...
We consider the problem of fault-tolerant agreement in a crash-prone synchronous system. We present a new randomized consensus algorithm that achieves optimal communication effici...
A network of cooperating agents must be able to reach rough consensus on a set of topics for cooperation. With highly heterogeneous agents, however, incommensurable measures and i...
Abstract. Communication, a fundamental concept in computing, allows two pieces of software to interact and to exchange information. It is an important aspect of mobile agent system...
