The Criteria for Adapting a Blockchain Consensus Algorithm to IoT Networks
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of smart objects connected via the Internet, where each object is identified by a unique, accessible, and programmable address, while Blockchain is a technology for storing and transmitting information based on a

Consensus algorithms and the decomposition-separation theorem [PDF]
Convergence properties of time inhomogeneous Markov chain based discrete and continuous time linear consensus algorithms are analyzed. Provided that a so-called infinite jet flow property is satisfied by the underlying chains, necessary conditions for both consensus and multiple consensus are established.

Distributed Asymptotic Minimization of Sequences of Convex Functions by a Broadcast Adaptive Subgradient Method [PDF]
We propose a non-hierarchical decentralized algorithm for the asymptotic minimization of possibly time-varying convex functions. In our method, each agent in a network has a private, local (possibly time-varying) cost function, and the objective is to ...

Diffusion Strategy-Based Distributed Operation of Microgrids Using Multiagent System
In distributed operation, each unit is operated by its local controller instead of using a centralized controller, which allows the action to be based on local information rather than global information. Most of the distributed solutions have implemented
