This paper proposes a calculus for describing communication-centred programs and discusses its use through a formal description of several use cases from real business protocols. ...
Predicting the performance of ad-hoc networking protocols has typically been performed by making use of software based simulation tools. Experimental study and validation of such p...
We study the interpolation procedure of Gomory and Johnson (1972), which generates cutting planes for general integer programs from facets of cyclic group polyhedra. This idea has...
Software architectural design has an enormous effect on downstream software artifacts. Decomposition of functions for the final system is one of the critical steps in software arch...
The agreement problem is studied whereby a group of mobile agents achieves convergence to a common point. A hierarchical cyclic pursuit scheme is introduced, and it is shown that ...
