We present a new hybrid algorithm for local search in distributed combinatorial optimization. This method is a mix between classical local search methods in which nodes take decis...
— We study a simple algorithm inspired by the Brazil nut effect for achieving segregation in a swarm of mobile robots. The algorithm lets each robot mimic a particle of a certain...
The control of robot swarming in a distributed manner is a difficult problem because global behaviors must emerge as a result of many local actions. This paper uses a bio-inspired ...

The Observer-Conditioned-Observable (OCO) combines digitizing and transcoding of numeric change events. During the processing of numeric events, the transcoder converts the number...
In this paper, we generalize the random access game model, and show that it provides a general game-theoretic framework for designing contention based medium access control. We ext...
