Atomic Broadcast, used for example in state machine replication, requires three communication steps. Optimistic Atomic Broadcast requires only two steps if all processes receive m...
Agents are becoming a popular technology for the development of distributed, heterogeneous and always available systems. In those systems, interactions are essential, but semantic ...
This paper considers online stochastic optimization problems where time constraints severely limit the number of offline optimizations which can be performed at decision time and/...
In this paper we study averaging algorithms and coverage control laws in a unified light. First, we characterize the convergence properties of averaging algorithms over acyclic di...
As web-based online communities are rapidly growing, the agents in the communities need to know their measurable belief of trust for safe and successful interactions. In this pape...
