Abstract. We study bisimulation and minimization for weighted automata, relying on a geometrical representation of the model, linear weighted automata (lwa). In a lwa, the state-sp...
An edge dominating set for a graph G is a set D of edges such that each edge of G is in D or adjacent to at least one edge in D. This work studies deterministic distributed approx...
In a previous work we have presented a formal framework devoted to show the relevance of choreography and orchestration in the design of service oriented applications. Even if usef...
Ants provide an attractive metaphor for robots that "cooperate" in performing complex tasks. What, however, are the algorithmic consequences of following this metaphor? ...
Replication is a technique used in Data Grid environments that helps to reduce access latency and network bandwidth utilization. Replication also increases data availability thereb...
