Blockchain is a type of decentralized distributed network which acts as an immutable digital ledger. Despite the absence of any central governing authority to validate the blocks in the ledger, it is considered secure and immutable due to…
In this paper, a class of convex feasibility problems (CFPs) are studied for multi-agent systems through local interactions. The objective is to search a feasible solution to the convex inequalities with some set constraints in a…
Consus is a strictly serializable geo-replicated transactional key-value store. The key contribution of Consus is a new commit protocol that reduces the cost of executing a transaction to three wide area message delays in the common case.…
Classical and contemporary distributed consensus protocols, may they be for binary agreement, state machine replication, or blockchain consensus, require all protocol participants in a peer-to-peer system to agree on exactly the same…
This paper considers the distributed consensus problem of multi-agent systems with general continuous-time linear dynamics. Two distributed adaptive dynamic consensus protocols are proposed, based on the relative output information of…
We study the effect of communication delays on distributed consensus algorithms. Two ways to model delays on a network are presented. The first model assumes that each link delivers messages with a fixed (constant) amount of delay, and the…
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) is a promi- nent topic in current networking research. ICN design signifi- cantly considers the increased demand of scalable and efficient content distribution for Future Internet. However,…
This paper investigates the distributed event-based consensus problem of switching networks satisfying the jointly connected condition. Both the state consensus of homogeneous linear networks and output consensus of heterogeneous networks…
This paper studies the problem of finding the median of N distinct numbers distributed across networked agents. Each agent updates its estimate for the median from noisy local observations of one of the N numbers and information from…
In this work, we introduce a modular framework for specifying distributed systems that we call AMECOS. Specifically, our framework departs from the traditional use of sequential specification, which presents limitations both on the…
A primary goal of online deliberation platforms is to identify ideas that are broadly agreeable to a community of users through their expressed preferences. Yet, consensus elicitation should ideally extend beyond the specific statements…
Distributed control increases system scalability, flexibility, and redundancy. Foundational to such decentralisation is consensus formation, by which decision-making and coordination are achieved. However, decentralised multi-agent systems…
This paper investigates under which conditions information can be reliably shared and consensus can be solved in unknown and anonymous message-passing networks that suffer from crash-failures. We provide algorithms to emulate registers and…
Information diffusion in Online Social Networks is a new and crucial problem in social network analysis field and requires significant research attention. Efficient diffusion of information are of critical importance in diverse situations…
Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is an emerging networking paradigm being considered as a possible replacement for the current IP-based host-centric Internet infrastructure. In CCN, named content becomes a first-class entity. CCN focuses on…
Process migration involves moving the running state of a process from one physical system to another, as is commonly done for virtual machines. In this paper, we describe how Content Centric Networking (CCNx) facilitates process migration…
Complex data in social and natural sciences find effective representation through networks, wherein quantitative and categorical information can be associated with nodes and connecting edges. The internal structure of networks can be…
In this paper, we develop a novel dynamic distributed optimal safe consensus protocol to simultaneously achieve safety requirements and output optimal consensus. Specifically, we construct a distributed projection optimization algorithm…
In the stabilizing consensus problem, each agent of a networked system has an input value and is repeatedly writing an output value; it is required that eventually all the output values stabilize to the same value which, moreover, must be…
We study the distributed average consensus problem in multi-agent systems with directed communication links that are subject to quantized information flow. The goal of distributed average consensus is for the nodes, each associated with…
