Many self-organizing and self-adaptive systems use the biologically inspired “gradient” primitive, in which each device in a network estimates its distance to the closest devi...

This work analyzes the connectivity of large diameter networks where every link has an independent probability p of failure. We give a (relatively simple) topological condition th...
We present a new Monte Carlo method for solving the light transport problem, inspired by the Metropolis sampling method in computational physics. To render an image, we generate a...
