Software Defined Networks has seen tremendous growth and deployment in different types of networks. Compared to traditional networks it decouples the control logic from network layer devices, and centralizes it for efficient traffic…
Decentralized systems are a subset of distributed systems where multiple authorities control different components and no authority is fully trusted by all. This implies that any component in a decentralized system is potentially…
Resilience describes a system's ability to function under disturbances and threats. Many critical infrastructures, including smart grids and transportation networks, are large-scale complex systems consisting of many interdependent…
The majority of works in distributed storage networks assume a simple network model with a collection of identical storage nodes with the same communication cost between the nodes. In this paper, we consider a realistic multi-rack…
We consider a distributed non cooperative control setting in which systems are interconnected via state constraints. Each of these systems is governed by an agent which is responsible for exchanging information with its neighbours and…
This paper introduces a novel architecture of distributed systems--called framed distributed system, or FDS--that braces a given system via a built-in virtual framework that controls the flow of messages between system components and…
This paper investigates sensor scheduling for state estimation of complex networks over shared transmission channels. For a complex network of dynamical systems, referred to as nodes, a sensor network is adopted to measure and estimate the…
In this paper, we investigate the distributed optimal control problem for a kind of nonlinear multi-agent systems. In particular,both the state and the system dynamic structures of each agent are private and can only be shared among…
The rule technological landscape is becoming ever more complex, with an extended number of specifications and products. It is therefore becoming increasingly difficult to integrate rule-driven components and manage interoperability in…
We introduce a distributed control architecture for a class of heterogeneous, nonlinear dynamical agents moving in the "string" formation, while guaranteeing trajectory tracking, collision avoidance and the preservation of the formation's…

We discuss the design, architecture, and implementation of a toolkit which supports some theories for distributed interactions. The main design principles of our architecture are flexibility and modularity. Our main goal is to provide an…
Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms are central for building reliable spatially distributed systems. Unfortunately, the lack of a canonical precise framework for fault-tolerant algorithms is an obstacle for both verification and…
Modern distributed systems employ atomic read-modify-write primitives to coordinate concurrent operations. Such primitives are typically built on top of a central server, or rely on an agreement protocol. Both approaches provide a universal…
Humans have an impressive ability to solve complex coordination problems in a fully distributed manner. This ability, if learned as a set of distributed multirobot coordination strategies, can enable programming large groups of robots to…
Many problems of interest for cyber-physical network systems can be formulated as Mixed-Integer Linear Programs in which the constraints are distributed among the agents. In this paper we propose a distributed algorithmic framework to solve…
We introduce a class of distributed control policies for networks of discrete-time linear systems with polytopic additive disturbances. The objective is to restrict the network-level state and controls to user-specified polyhedral sets for…
A security policy specifies a security property as the maximal information flow. A distributed system composed of interacting processes implicitly defines an intransitive security policy by repudiating direct information flow between…
Quantum computing offers the potential to solve certain complex problems, yet, scaling monolithic processors remains a major challenge. Modular and distributed architectures are proposed to build large-scale quantum systems while bringing…
