A Predicate-Based Approach to Dynamic Protocol Update in Group Communication

André Schiper, Olivier Rütti

In this paper we study dynamic protocol updates (DPU), which consist in replacing, without interruption, a given protocol during execution. We focus especially on group communication protocols. The paper proposes a methodology to conveniently describe whic ...

A formal approach to fault tolerant distributed consensus

Rachele Fuzzati

The term distributed Consensus denotes the problem of getting a certain number of processes, that could be far away from each other and that exchange messages through some communication means, to all agree on the same value. This problem has been proved im ...

Ant-based Swarming with Positionless Micro Air Vehicles for Communication Relay

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Laurent Winkler

Swarming without positioning information is interesting in application- oriented systems because it alleviates the need for sensors which are dependent on the environment, expensive in terms of energy, cost, size and weight, or unusable at useful ranges fo ...

Molecular quenching and relaxation in a plasmonic tunable system

Olivier Martin

Molecular fluorescence decay is significantly modified when the emitting molecule is located near a plasmonic structure. When the lateral sizes of such structures are reduced to nanometer-scale cross sections, they can be used to accurately control and amp ...

Brief Note on Secured P-Grid (Version-1)

This document talks briefly about making the current P- Grid implementation secure. We realize the following two requirements which we feel are essential for making communication on P-Grid the most secure one. ...

Forensic Automatic Speaker Recognition

Andrzej Drygajlo

The existence of highly developed and fully automated telephone networks in industrialized countries and the pervasiveness of speech communication technology have resulted in the ever-increasing use of the human voice as an instrument in the commission of ...

Pheromone-based Swarming for Position-less MAVs

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Sabine Hauert, Laurent Winkler

Unlike existing aerial swarm systems, we aim at developing algorithms which do not require global or relative positioning information concerning agents and their neighbors. This alleviates the need for sensors which require calibration, are expensive and h ...

Atomic broadcast

Nils Richard Ekwall

Within only a couple of generations, the so-called digital revolution has taken the world by storm: today, almost all human beings interact, directly or indirectly, at some point in their life, with a computer system. Computers are present on our desks, co ...

Evolutionary Conditions for the Emergence of Communication in Robots

Dario Floreano, Stéphane Magnenat, Laurent Keller, Sara Mitri

Information transfer plays a central role in the biology of most organisms, particularly social species [1, 2]. Although the neurophysiological processes by which signals are produced, conducted, perceived, and interpreted are well understood, the conditio ...

Modelling and refining site-specific radiation damage in SAD/MAD phasing

Site-specific radiation damage on anomalously scattering sites can be used to generate additional phase information in standard single- or multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD or MAD) experiments. In this approach the data are kept unmerged, down to ...
