Abstract. We introduce distributed games over asynchronous transition systems to model a distributed controller synthesis problem. A game involves two teams and is not turn-based: ...
We address the problem of searching for a two-dimensional pattern in a two-dimensional text (or image), such that the pattern can be found even if it appears rotated and it is bri...
Consider a game in which edges of a graph are provided a pair at a time, and the player selects one edge from each pair, attempting to construct a graph with a component as large ...

Time synchronization is necessary in many distributed systems, but achieving synchronization in sensornets, which combine stringent precision requirements with severe resource con...

This paper presents a new mathematical model of AIMD (Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease) TCP for general networks that we believe is better than those previously used when...
Given a finite set V , and integers k ≥ 1 and r ≥ 0, denote by A(k, r) the class of hypergraphs A ⊆ 2V with (k, r)-bounded intersections, i.e. in which the intersection of a...

For several graph-theoretic parameters such as vertex cover and dominating set, it is known that if their sizes are bounded by k then the treewidth of the graph is bounded by some ...
