We propose consensus propagation, an asynchronous distributed protocol for averaging numbers across a network. We establish convergence, characterize the convergence rate for regul...
: A method for determining consensus of hierarchical incomplete ordered partitions and coverings of sets is presented in this chapter. Incomplete ordered partitions and coverings a...
: Provide application processes with strong agreement guarantees despite failures is a fundamental problem of fault-tolerant distributed computing. Correct processes have not to be...
DNA sequence analysis depends on the accurate assembly of fragment reads for the determination of a consensus sequence. This report examines the possibility of analyzing multiple,...
This paper presents an approach for building consensus ontologies from the individual ontologies of a network of socially interacting agents. Each agent has its own conceptualizat...
