A distributed algorithm for gathering many fat mobile robots in the plane
(2013)
We revisit the problem of gathering autonomous robots in the plane. In particular, we consider non-transparent unit-disc robots (i.e., fat) in an asynchronous setting with vision as the only means of coordination and robots ...
Risk modeling and analysis of interdependencies of critical infrastructures using colored timed petri nets
(2015)
Petri Nets (PNs) and their variations are a graphical, mathematical language that can be used for the specification, analysis and verification of discrete event systems, including Critical Infrastructures (CIs). Colored ...
Algorithmic mechanisms for reliable master-worker internet-based computing
(2014)
We consider Internet-based master-worker computations, where a master processor assigns, across the Internet, a computational task to a set of untrusted worker processors, and collects their responses. Examples of such ...
Brief announcement: Algorithmic mechanisms for internet-based computing under unreliable communication
(2011)
This work, using a game-theoretic approach, considers Internet-based computations, where a master processor assigns, over the Internet, a computational task to a set of untrusted worker processors, and collects their ...
Achieving reliability in master-worker computing via evolutionary dynamics
(2012)
This work considers Internet-based task computations in which a master process assigns tasks, over the Internet, to rational workers and collect their responses. The objective is for the master to obtain the correct task ...
Crowd Computing as a Cooperation Problem: An Evolutionary Approach
(2013)
Cooperation is one of the socio-economic issues that has received more attention from the physics community. The problem has been mostly considered by studying games such as the Prisoner's Dilemma or the Public Goods Game. ...
Brief announcement: Achieving reliability in master-worker computing via evolutionary dynamics
(2012)
This work considers Internet-based task computations in which a master process assigns tasks, over the Internet, to rational workers and collect their responses. The objective is for the master to obtain the correct task ...
The role of twitter in YouTube videos diffusion
(2012)
Understanding the effects of social cascading on streaming media is of great importance to Web information system engineering. Given the large amount of available videos, it is often difficult for users to discover interesting ...
Algorithmic mechanisms for internet supercomputing under unreliable communication
(2011)
This work, using a game-theoretic approach, considers Internet-based computations, where a master processor assigns, over the Internet, a computational task to a set of untrusted worker processors, and collects their ...
Internet computing: Using reputation to select workers from a pool
(2016)
The assignment and execution of tasks over the Internet is an inexpensive solution in contrast with supercomputers. We consider an Internet-based Master-Worker task computing approach, such as SETI@home. A master process ...
