Synchronization is fundamental for mirroring real-world entities in real-time and supporting effective operations of Digital Twins (DTs). Such synchronization is enabled by the communication between the physical and virtual realms, and it…
Distributed consensus has been widely studied for sensor network applications. Whereas the asymptotic convergence rate has been extensively explored in prior work, other important and practical issues, including energy efficiency and link…
The distributed computing literature considers multiple options for modeling communication. Most simply, communication is categorized as either synchronous or asynchronous. Synchronous communication assumes that messages get delivered…
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…
Trace properties, which are sets of execution traces, are often used to analyze systems, but their expressiveness is limited. Clarkson and Schneider defined hyperproperties as a generalization of trace properties to sets of sets of traces.…

Distributed sensor networks are commonly operated through coincidence logic: if detector reports overlap within a prescribed time window, an event is declared. While effective for clean, high-significance signals, this approach becomes…
Inter-layer synchronization is a dynamical state occurring in multi-layer networks composed of identical nodes. The state corresponds to have all layers synchronized, with nodes in each layer which do not necessarily evolve in unison. So…
