This paper addresses the application of distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs) to large-scale dynamic environments. We introduce a decomposition of DCOP into a graph...

Many embedded control systems comprise several control loops that are closed over a network of computation nodes. In such systems, complex timing behavior and communication lead t...
A distributed consensus algorithm allows n processes to reach a common decision value starting from individual inputs. Wait-free consensus, in which a process always terminates wi...
We study how protocol design for various functionalities within a communication network architecture can be viewed as a distributed resource allocation problem. This involves unde...
This paper presents a new transformation which adds fault-containment properties to any silent self-stabilizing protocol. The transformation features a constant slow-down factor a...
