Small unpiloted aircraft (UAVs) each have limited power budgets. If a group (swarm) of small UAVs is organised to perform a common task such as geo-location, then it is possible t...
Large-scale and dynamically changing distributed systems such as the Grid, peer-to-peer overlays, etc., need to collect several kinds of global statistics in a decentralized manne...
The virtual synchrony model for group communication has proven to be a powerful paradigm for building distributed applications. Implementations of virtual synchrony usually requir...
This paper describes \Object Group", an object behavioral pattern for group communication and fault-tolerance in distributed systems. The Object Group pattern supports the im...
We investigate the application of a low-cost, pervasively distributed network to plan paths for mobile robots in environments with dynamic obstacles. We consider a heterogeneous s...
