We study the problem of matching agents who arrive at a marketplace over time and leave after d time periods. Agents can only be matched while they are present in the marketplace. Each pair of agents can yield a different match value, and…
Two mobile agents, starting at arbitrary, possibly different times from arbitrary nodes of an unknown network, have to meet at some node. Agents move in synchronous rounds: in each round an agent can either stay at the current node or move…
We consider the task of rendezvous in networks modeled as undirected graphs. Two mobile agents with different labels, starting at different nodes of an anonymous graph, have to meet. This task has been considered in the literature under two…
A standard belief on emerging collective behavior is that it emerges from simple individual rules. Most of the mathematical research on such collective behavior starts from imperative individual rules, like always go to the center. But how…
In a rendezvous task, some mobile agents dispersed in a network have to gather at an arbitrary common site. We consider the rendezvous problem on the infinite labeled line, with $2$ agents, without communication, and a synchronous notion of…
In this paper we study the task of approach of two mobile agents having the same limited range of vision and moving asynchronously in the plane. This task consists in getting them in finite time within each other's range of vision. The…
Gathering is a fundamental coordination problem in cooperative mobile robotics. In short, given a set of robots with arbitrary initial locations and no initial agreement on a global coordinate system, gathering requires that all robots,…
We consider leader election in anonymous radio networks modeled as simple undirected connected graphs. Nodes communicate in synchronous rounds. Nodes are anonymous and execute the same deterministic algorithm, so symmetry can be broken only…
We study a distributed coordination mechanism for uniform agents located on a circle. The agents perform their actions in synchronised rounds. At the beginning of each round an agent chooses the direction of its movement from clockwise,…
This paper studies the gathering problem for a set of $N \ge 2$ autonomous mobile robots operating in the Euclidean plane under the distributed Look-Compute-Move model. We consider oblivious robots executing under the adversarial defected…
This paper revisits the widely researched \textit{gathering} problem for two robots in a scenario which allows randomization in the asynchronous scheduling model. The scheduler is considered to be the adversary which determines the…
We study the gathering problem requiring a team of mobile agents to gather at a single node in arbitrary networks. The team consists of $k$ agents with unique identifiers (IDs), and $f$ of them are weakly Byzantine agents, which behave…
The problem of gathering multiple mobile robots to a single location, is one of the fundamental problems in distributed coordination between autonomous robots. The problem has been studied and solved even for robots that are anonymous,…
We consider a swarm of $n$ autonomous mobile robots, distributed on a 2-dimensional grid. A basic task for such a swarm is the gathering process: All robots have to gather at one (not predefined) place. A common local model for extremely…
We consider a swarm of mobile robots evolving in a bidimensional Euclidean space. We study a variant of the crash-tolerant gathering problem: if no robot crashes, robots have to meet at the same arbitrary location, not known beforehand, in…
We introduce a variant of the deterministic rendezvous problem for a pair of heterogeneous agents operating in an undirected graph, which differ in the time they require to traverse particular edges of the graph. Each agent knows the…
The gathering over meeting nodes problem requires the robots to gather at one of the pre-defined meeting nodes. This paper investigates the problem with respect to the objective function that minimizes the total number of moves made by all…
An autonomous mobile robot system consisting of many mobile computational entities (called robots) attracts much attention of researchers, and to clarify the relation between the capabilities of robots and solvability of the problems is an…
One of the most essential prerequisites behind a successful task execution of a team of agents is to accurately estimate and track their poses. We consider a cooperative multi-agent positioning problem where each agent performs single-agent…
Two mobile agents, starting from different nodes of an $n$-node network at possibly different times, have to meet at the same node. This problem is known as rendezvous. Agents move in synchronous rounds using a deterministic algorithm. In…
