Hyperstar: A multi-path Astar algorithm for risk averse vehicle navigation

The Astar algorithm, which forms the backbone of vehicle navigation systems, is capable of producing only one path. Given uncertainty about link travel times, there is interest in algorithms that can deliver all the paths that may be optimal, termed collec ...

The Complexity of Obstruction-Free Implementations

Rachid Guerraoui, Hagit Albo Attiya

Obstruction-free implementations of concurrent ob jects are optimized for the common case where there is no step contention, and were recently advocated as a solution to the costs associated with synchronization without locks. In this paper, we study this ...

Low computation and low latency algorithms for distributed sensor network initialization

Volkan Cevher

In this paper, we show how an underlying system’s state vector distribution can be determined in a distributed heterogeneous sensor network with reduced subspace observability at the individual nodes. The presented algorithm can generate the initial state ...
