In this work, we propose and study in depth a universal quantum computing architecture based on a quantum construction of transistors. Our teleportation-based quantum transistors, called ``telesistors'', are ground states of systems with…
One of the traditional mechanisms used in distributed systems for maintaining the consistency of replicated data is voting. A problem involved in voting mechanisms is the size of the Quorums needed on each access to the data. In this paper,…
Quorum systems are a key abstraction in distributed fault-tolerant computing for capturing trust assumptions. They can be found at the core of many algorithms for implementing reliable broadcasts, shared memory, consensus and other…
We introduce a universal sparse preconditioner that accelerates geometry optimisation and saddle point search tasks that are common in the atomic scale simulation of materials. Our preconditioner is based on the neighbourhood structure and…
Simulating and validating coordination among multiple autonomous vehicles remains challenging, as many existing simulation architectures are limited to single-vehicle operation or rely on centralized control. This paper presents the…
In this paper, we propose a bootstrap method applied to massive data processed distributedly in a large number of machines. This new method is computationally efficient in that we bootstrap on the master machine without over-resampling,…
The Memory-Centred Cognition perspective places an active association substrate at the heart of cognition, rather than as a passive adjunct. Consequently, it places prediction and priming on the basis of prior experience to be inherent and…
Artificial intelligence (AI) in its various forms finds more and more its way into complex distributed systems. For instance, it is used locally, as part of a sensor system, on the edge for low-latency high-performance inference, or in the…
This paper presents a data stationary architecture in which each word has an attached address field. Address fields massively update in parallel to record data interchanges. Words do not move until memory is read for post processing. A sea…
Collective memory -- community members' interconnected memories and impressions of the group -- is essential to the community's culture and identity. Its development requires members' continuous participatory contribution and sensemaking.…
Owing to their cost-effectiveness and flexibility, cloud services have been the default choice for the deployment of innumerable software systems over the years. However, novel paradigms are beginning to emerge, as the cloud can't meet the…
Many real-world tasks require agents to coordinate their behavior to achieve shared goals. Successful collaboration requires not only adopting the same communicative conventions, but also grounding these conventions in the same…
We introduce a new and increasingly relevant setting for distributed optimization in machine learning, where the data defining the optimization are distributed (unevenly) over an extremely large number of \nodes, but the goal remains to…
This paper presents a distributed painting algorithm for painting a priori known rectangular region by swarm of autonomous mobile robots. We assume that the region is obstacle free and of rectangular in shape. The basic approach is to…
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are now becoming increasingly accessible to amateur and com-mercial users alike. Several types of airspace structures are proposed in recent research, which include several structured free flight concepts. In…
Replicated tree data structures are extensively used in collaborative applications and distributed file systems, where clients often perform move operations. Local move operations at different replicas may be safe. However, remote move…
We study large-scale distributed cooperative systems that use optimistic replication. We represent a system as a graph of actions (operations) connected by edges that reify semantic constraints between actions. Constraint types include…
