This paper addresses the distributed localization problem for a network of sensors placed in a three-dimensional space, in which sensors are able to perform range measurements, i.e., measure the relative distance between them, and exchange…
Decentralized optimization problems consist of multiple agents connected by a network. The agents have each local cost function, and the goal is to minimize the sum of the functions cooperatively. It requires the agents communicate with…
In this paper, we address the problem of simultaneous classification and estimation of hidden parameters in a sensor network with communications constraints. In particular, we consider a network of noisy sensors which measure a common…
We consider the problem of solving a distributed optimization problem using a distributed computing platform, where the communication in the network is limited: each node can only communicate with its neighbours and the channel has a…
We propose a novel clock skew compensation algorithm based on Bresenham's line drawing algorithm. The proposed algorithm can avoid the effect of limited floating-point precision (e.g., 32-bit single precision) on clock skew compensation and…
Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is a fundamental algorithm in machine learning, representing the optimization backbone for training several classic models, from regression to neural networks. Given the recent practical focus on…

In decentralized optimization over networks, synchronizing the updates of all nodes incurs significant communication overhead. For this reason, much of the recent literature has focused on the analysis and design of asynchronous…

A distributed algorithm is described for solving a linear algebraic equation of the form $Ax=b$ assuming the equation has at least one solution. The equation is simultaneously solved by $m$ agents assuming each agent knows only a subset of…
Our motivation in this paper is to take another step forward from complex and heavyweight synchronization protocols to the easy-to-implement and lightweight synchronization protocols in WSNs. To this end, we present GraDeS, a novel…
