We study the problem of distributed estimation, where a set of nodes are required to collectively estimate some parameter of interest from their measurements. Distributed implementations avoid the use of a fusion center and distribute the processing and co ...
Group communication in partitionable systems has been the focus of many research activities over the last decade. Fault-tolerant applications in a partitionable system model generally rely on two basic services: a group membership service and a reliable mu ...
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 ...
The k-set-agreement problem consists for a set of n processes to agree on less than k among n possibly different Values, each initially known to only one process. The problem is at the heart of distributed computing and generalizes the celebrated consensus ...
Former PhD students, post-docs and junior researchers of the Section de chimie et biochimie now holding positions at different universities and private companies remember the time they spent in Geneva and give an account of how this has set off and influen ...
New entrants in postal markets usually set up delivery networks by concentrating on urban areas and large business customers. This implies that they operate their network highly centralized - at least in early phases of entrance. ...
We consider the following communication problem over a directed graph. A source node wants to transmit a common message to a set of receiver nodes along with a private message to each of the receivers. We show a class of networks for which the achievable r ...

Transportation safety, one of the main driving forces of the development of vehicular communication (VC) systems, relies on high-rate safety messaging (beaconing). At the same time, there is consensus among authorities, industry, and academia on the need t ...
In this paper we consider communication from a source to a destination over a wireless network with the help of a set of authenticated relays. We focus on a special ``diamond'' network, where there is no direct link between the source and the destination; ...
An experimental method based on a falling pressure measurement is proposed to evaluate the through thickness air permeability of prepregs during cure, with two set-up variants. One concerns the measurement of the inherent air permeability and the other app ...
