: Distributed top-k query processing is increasingly becoming an essential functionality in a large number of emerging application classes. This paper addresses the efficient alge...
A new search algorithm for solving distributed constraint optimization problems (DisCOPs) is presented. Agents assign variables sequentially and propagate their assignments asynchr...
Abstract— Distributed stream-based applications, such as continuous query systems, have network scale and time characteristics that challenge traditional distributed query optimi...

Abstract. The paper presents a new distributed Multilevel Ant Stigmergy Algorithm (MASA) for minimizing the power losses in an electric motor by optimizing the independent geometri...
We derive the optimality results for key pre distribution scheme for distributed sensor networks, and relations between interesting parameters. Namely, given a key-pool of size n ...
