A group of cooperative aerial robots can be deployed to efficiently patrol a terrain, in which each robot flies around an assigned area and shares information with the neighbors periodically in order to protect or supervise it. To ensure…
Convergence failure and slow convergence rate are among the biggest challenges with solving the system of non-linear equations numerically. While using strictly small time steps sizes and unconditionally stable fully implicit scheme…
Although monitoring and covering are fundamental goals of a wireless sensor network (WSN), the accidental death of sensors or the running out of their energy would result in holes in the WSN. Such holes have the potential to disrupt the…
We explore a community-detection cellular automata algorithm inspired by human heuristics, based on information diffusion and a non-linear processing phase with a dynamics inspired by human heuristics. The main point of the methods is that…
Distance-based attenuation is a critical aspect of wireless communications. As opposed to the ubiquitous power-law path loss model, this paper proposes a stretched exponential path loss model that is suitable for short-range communication.…
In the simple mean-field SIS and SIR epidemic models, infection is transmitted from infectious to susceptible members of a finite population by independent p-coin tosses. Spatial variants of these models are proposed, in which finite…

We study broadcast capacity and minimum delay scaling laws for highly mobile wireless networks, in which each node has to disseminate or broadcast packets to all other nodes in the network. In particular, we consider a cell partitioned…
In cellular automata with multiple speeds for each cell $i$ there is a positive integer $p_i$ such that this cell updates its state still periodically but only at times which are a multiple of $p_i$. Additionally there is a finite upper…
We present a strategy for designing fast methods of response to cyber attacks and infection spread on complex weighted networks. In these networks, nodes can be interpreted as primitive elements of the system, and weighted edges reflect the…
The objective is the design of a Cellular Automata rule that can form patterns with 'touching' loops. A loop is defined as a closed path of 1-cells in a 2D grid on a zero background and with a zero border. A path cell is connected with two…
In contemporary wireless communication networks, base-stations are organized into coordinated clusters (called cells) to jointly serve the users. However, such fixed systems are plagued by the so-called cell-edge problem: near the…
In this work, we explore emergent behaviors by swarms of anonymous, homogeneous, non-communicating, reactive robots that do not know their global position and have limited relative sensing. We introduce a novel method that enables such…

Traditional stereo algorithms have focused their efforts on reconstruction quality and have largely avoided prioritizing for run time performance. Robots, on the other hand, require quick maneuverability and effective computation to observe…
We study discretisation effects in cellular automata models for pedestrian dynamics by reducing the cell size. Then a particle occupies more than one cell which leads to subtle effects in the dynamics, e.g. non-local conflict situations.…
