We explore the computational power of networks of small resource-limited mobile agents. We define two new models of computation based on pairwise interactions of finite-state ag...
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) feature notable characteristics in structure and traffic patterns that allow for efficient resource allocation. A strategy that exploits the underl...
