The Spider Model of Agents
We take the position that large-scale distributed systems are better understood, at all levels, when locality is taken into account. When communication and mobility are clearly se...

Visually Guided Coordination for Distributed Precision Assembly
We document our initial e orts to instantiate visuallyguided cooperative behaviors between robotic agents in the minifactory environment. Minifactory incorporates high-precision 2...

An Investigation into Non-Smooth Locomotion
We analyze a class of mechanisms that locomote by switching between constraints. Because of the hybrid nature of such systems, most of the existing analysis tools, developed prima...

Scheduling Fault-Tolerant Distributed Hard Real-Time Tasks Independently of the Replication Strategies
Replication is a well-know fault-tolerance technique, and several replication strategies exist (e.g. active, passive, and semi-active replication). To be used in hard real-time sy...

Testing Prototypes Validity to Enhance Code Reuse
The complexity of distributed systems is a problem when designers want to evaluate their safety and liveness. Often, they are built by integration of existing components with newl...
