This paper addresses a synchronization problem that arises when a team of aerial robots (ARs) need to communicate while performing assigned tasks in a cooperative scenario. Each robot has a limited communication range and flies within a…

The non-uniform demand network coding problem is posed as a single-source and multiple-sink network transmission problem where the sinks may have heterogeneous demands. In contrast with multicast problems, non-uniform demand problems are…

We study the problem of synchronizing a general complex network by means of an adaptive strategy in the case where the network topology is slowly time varying and every node receives at each time only one aggregate signal from the set of…

We consider the problem of forming a distributed queue in the adversarial dynamic network model of Kuhn, Lynch, and Oshman (STOC 2010) in which the network topology changes from round to round but the network stays connected. This is a…

Real-world systems in epidemiology, social sciences, power transportation, economics and engineering are often described as multilayer networks. Here we first define and compute the symmetries of multilayer networks, and then study the…

The wakeup problem in distributed computing asks for a symmetric protocol that enables one of several processors to eventually guarantee that all (or, in a more general setting, enough) other processors have acted, using a shared register…

Detecting deadlocks in MPI synchronization communication programs is very difficult and need building program models. All complex models are based on sequential models. The sequential model is mapped into a set of character strings and its…

In this paper, we consider a network of processors aiming at cooperatively solving mixed-integer convex programs subject to uncertainty. Each node only knows a common cost function and its local uncertain constraint set. We propose a…

We study networks of processes that all execute the same finite state protocol and that communicate through broadcasts. The processes are organized in a graph (a topology) and only the neighbors of a process in this graph can receive its…

To make the development of efficient multi-core applications easier, libraries, such as Grand Central Dispatch, have been proposed. When using such a library, the programmer writes so-called blocks, which are chunks of codes, and dispatches…

In this paper we address distributed learning problems over peer-to-peer networks. In particular, we focus on the challenges of quantized communications, asynchrony, and stochastic gradients that arise in this set-up. We first discuss how…

Fast multipole methods have O(N) complexity, are compute bound, and require very little synchronization, which makes them a favorable algorithm on next-generation supercomputers. Their most common application is to accelerate N-body…

This paper addresses the problem of parallelizing computations to study non-linear dynamics in large networks of non-locally coupled oscillators using heterogeneous computing resources. The proposed approach can be applied to a variety of…

We propose an asynchronous iterative scheme that allows a set of interconnected nodes to distributively reach an agreement within a pre-specified bound in a finite number of steps. While this scheme could be adopted in a wide variety of…

Asynchronous methods for solving systems of linear equations have been researched since Chazan and Miranker's pioneering 1969 paper on chaotic relaxation. The underlying idea of asynchronous methods is to avoid processor idle time by…

Gossip algorithms are widely used to solve the distributed consensus problem, but issues can arise when nodes receive multiple signals either at the same time or before they are able to finish processing their current work load.…

We study the synchronized interval in undirected and unweighted random networks of coupled oscillators as a function of the number of edges. In many coupled oscillator systems, synchronization is stable in a finite interval of coupling…

The problem of synchronization over a group $\mathcal{G}$ aims to estimate a collection of group elements $G^*_1, \dots, G^*_n \in \mathcal{G}$ based on noisy observations of a subset of all pairwise ratios of the form $G^*_i {G^*_j}^{-1}$.…

Learning in games has been widely used to solve many cooperative multi-agent problems such as coverage control, consensus, self-reconfiguration or vehicle-target assignment. One standard approach in this domain is to formulate the problem…

We address the problem of statically checking safety properties (such as assertions or deadlocks) for parameterized phaser programs. Phasers embody a non-trivial and modern synchronization construct used to orchestrate executions of…
