چکیده

We motivate and present a simple measure of eeciency for distributed data structures called \bottleneck complexity". We investigate a distributed counter as a case study for our measure of eeciency. A distributed counter allows each processor in an asynchronous message passing network to access the counter value and increment it. The bottleneck complexity has a lower bound of (k) on an asynchronous message passing network with n processors where kk k = n. This bound is tight in a simple special case. Finally, we discuss related machine models and more general settings.

D4M, a Self-Adapting Decentralized Derived Data Collection and Monitoring Framework

Peer-to-peer systems are evolving as a viable distributed resource sharing paradigm on the Internet. The trend is growing towards the usage of such decentralized systems because they are more scalable and resource efficient than centralized systems. Current decentralized systems, like peer-to-peer networks, lack functionality to adapt the transmission of certain information artifacts, according...

Roombots—Towards Decentralized Reconfiguration with Self-Reconfiguring Modular Robotic Metamodules

This paper presents our work towards a decentralized reconfiguration strategy for self-reconfiguring modular robots, assembling furniture-like structures from Roombots (RB) metamodules. We explore how reconfiguration by locomotion from a configuration A to a configuration B can be controlled in a distributed fashion. This is done using Roombots metamodules—two Roombots modules connected seriall...

A credit period contract towards coordination of pharmaceutical supply chain:The case of inventory-level-dependent demand

This paper considers a two stages pharmaceutical supply chain (PSC) consisting of a pharmaceutical manufacturer (pharma-manufacturer) that supplies one type of pharmaceutical product to a pharma-retailer. The customer demand rate for the pharmaceutical product is dependent on the pharma-retailer’s current-inventory level. The pharma-retailer determines the order quantity ( ) value as decision v...
