Low-Cost Collaborative Localization for Large-Scale Multi-Robot Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, Alexander Bahr, Amanda Stella Markowska Prorok

Large numbers of collaborating robots are advantageous for solving distributed problems. In order to efficiently solve the task at hand, the robots often need accurate localization. In this work, we address the localization problem by developing a solution ...

Competitive ratio of List Scheduling on uniform machines and randomized heuristics

Antoine Musitelli, Jean-Marc Nicoletti

We study online scheduling on m uniform machines, where m - 1 of them have a reference speed 1 and the last one a speed s with 0

Discrete time stochastic hybrid dynamical games: Verification & controller synthesis

Maryam Kamgarpour

This paper presents a framework for analyzing probabilistic safety and reachability problems for discrete time stochastic hybrid systems in scenarios where system dynamics are affected by rational competing agents. In particular, we consider a zero-sum gam ...

The Complexity of Renaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

We study the complexity of renaming, a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which a set of processes need to pick distinct names from a given namespace. We prove an individual lower bound of Omega(k) process steps for deterministic renaming into ...

What's all the noise about developmental stochasticity?

Andrew Charles Oates

In October 2010, researchers from diverse backgrounds collided at the historic Cumberland Lodge (Windsor, UK) to discuss the role of randomness in cell and developmental biology. Organized by James Briscoe and Alfonso Marinez-Arias, The Company of Biologis ...

Generating Fast Indulgent Algorithms

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh

Synchronous distributed algorithms are easier to design and prove correct than algorithms that tolerate asynchrony. Yet, in the real world, networks experience asynchrony and other timing anomalies. In this paper, we address the question of how to efficien ...

Optimal-Time Adaptive Strong Renaming, with Applications to Counting

Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh, Morteza Zadimoghaddam

We give two new randomized algorithms for tight renaming, both of which work against an adaptive adversary. The first uses repeated sampling over a sequence of arrays of decreasing size to assign unique names to each of

Dynamically Selecting Composition Algorithms for Economical Composition as a Service

Boi Faltings, Immanuel Trummer

Various algorithms have been proposed for the problem of quality-driven service composition. They differ by the quality of the resulting executable processes and by their processing costs. In this paper, we study the problem of service composition from an ...

Sub-Logarithmic Test-and-Set Against a Weak Adversary

Dan Alistarh

A randomized implementation is given of a test-and-set register with O(log log it) individual step complexity and O(n) total step complexity against an oblivious adversary. The implementation is linearizable and multi-shot, and shows an exponential complex ...
