This paper analyzes the rate of convergence of a distributed averaging scheme making use of memory at each node. In conventional distributed averaging, each node computes an update based on its current state and the current states of their neighbours. Previous work observed the trajectories at each node converge smoothly and demonstrated via simulation that a predictive framework can lead to faster...
The average consensus problem in the distributed signal processing context is addressed by linear iterative algorithms, with asymptotic convergence to the consensus. The convergence of the average consensus for an arbitrary weight matrix satisfying the convergence conditions is unfortunately slow restricting the use of the developed algorithms in applications. In this paper, we propose the use of...
Internal switches in all-photonic networks do not perform data conversion into the electronic domain, thereby eliminating a potential capacity bottleneck, but the inability to perform efficient optical buffering introduces network scheduling challenges. In this paper we focus on the problem of scheduling fixed-length frames in all-photonic star-topology networks with the goal of minimizing rejected...
Wireless sensor-actuator networks (SANETs), in which nodes perform actions (actuation) in response to sensor measurements and shared information, have great potential in medical and agricultural applications. In this paper, we focus on the problem of using distributed sensed data to design actuation strategies in order to elicit a desired response from the environment, whilst attempting to minimize...
The popularity of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks makes them an attractive target to the creators of viruses and other malicious code. Indeed, recently a number of viruses designed specifically to spread via P2P networks have emerged. In this paper we present a model which predicts how a P2P-based virus propagates through a network. This model is a modified version of the S-E-I (susceptible-exposed-infected)...
The internal switches in all-photonic networks do not perform data conversion into the electronic domain. Although this removal of O-E-O conversion eliminates a potential capacity bottleneck, it also introduces scheduling challenges; photonic switches cannot perform queuing operations, so traffic arrivals at these switches must be carefully scheduled. The (overlaid) star topology is an excellent match...
