The problem of repair and maintenance of complex systems, such as aircraft, cars and trucks is certainly a nontrivial task. Maintenance technicians must use a great amount of knowl...
Abstract. We investigate the computational capabilities of probabilistic cellular automata by means of the density classification problem. We find that a specific probabilistic ...
This paper is on the Consensus problem, in the context of asynchronous distributed systems made of n processes, at most f of them may crash. A family of failure detector classes s...
