Abstract—To achieve higher reliability, safety, and faulttolerance, many mission-critical detection and decision systems implement consensus algorithms that force the systems’ ...
A frequently arising problem in computational geometry is when a physical structure, such as an ad-hoc wireless sensor network or a protein backbone, can measure local information...

The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
We explore the relationship between properties of the network defined by connected agents and the global system performance. This is achieved by means of a novel class of optimiza...
We are facing a growing user demand for ubiquitous Internet access. As a result, network ports and wireless LANs are becoming common in public spaces inside buildings such as loung...
