Consider a set of players that are interested in collectively evaluating a set of objects. We develop a collaborative scoring protocol in which each player evaluates a subset of t...
Universal Coalgebra provides the notion of a coalgebra as the natural mathematical generalization of state-based evolving systems such as (infinite) words, trees, and transition s...
— Given an arbitrary network of interconnected nodes, each with an initial value from a discrete set, we consider the problem of distributively disseminating these initial values...
We present a new (1 + ε)-spanner for sets of n points in Rd . Our spanner has size O(n/εd−1 ) and maximum degree O(logd n). The main advantage of our spanner is that it can be...
