Desynchronization is a novel primitive for sensor networks: it implies that nodes perfectly interleave periodic events to occur in a round-robin schedule. This primitive can be us...

Consider a network of processors among which elements in a finite field K can be verifiably shared in a constant number of rounds. Assume furthermore constant-round protocols ar...
— Incentive protocols play a crucial role to encourage cooperation among nodes in networking applications. The aim of this paper is to provide a general analytical framework to a...
We model social choice problems in which self interested agents with private utility functions have to agree on values for a set of variables subject to side constraints. The goal...
In open distributed multi-agent systems, agents often coordinate using standardized agent communications. Thus, representing agent conversations is an important aspect of multi-age...
