Abstract-- Autonomous underwater vehicles are flexible mobile platforms for ocean sampling and surveillance missions. However, navigation of these vehicles in unstructured, highly ...
We derive lower bounds on the convergence speed of a widely used class of distributed averaging algorithms. In particular, we prove that any distributed averaging algorithm whose ...
This paper studies the inherent trade-off between termination probability and total step complexity of randomized consensus algorithms. It shows that for every integer k, the prob...
We present a dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) technique that minimizes system-wide energy consumption for both periodic and sporadic tasks. It is known that a system consists of proc...
Tasks in a real-time application usually have several stringent timing, resource, and communication requirements. Designing a distributed computing system which can meet all these...
