: This paper shows how the Asynchronous Backtracking (Yokoo et al., 1998) algorithm, a well known distributed constraint satisfaction algorithm, produces unnecessary messages and i...
A new asynchronous interconnection network is introduced for globally-asynchronous locally-synchronous (GALS) chip multiprocessors. The network eliminates the need for global cloc...

A method of constructing asynchronous cellular automata (ACA model) as a parallel composition of two interacting ACA is presented. The resulting ACA is intended to simulate a proce...
Abstract— We consider a distributed multi-agent network system where the goal is to minimize an objective function that can be written as the sum of component functions, each of ...
A MAC protocol specifies how nodes in a sensor network access a shared communication channel. Desired properties of a MAC protocol are: it should be contention-free (avoid collisio...
