Coordination Capacity [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2010
We develop elements of a theory of cooperation and coordination in networks. Rather than considering a communication network as a means of distributing information, or of reconstructing random processes at remote nodes, we ask what dependence can be established among the nodes given the communication constraints.
