Distributed Multi-Robot Localization
2000This paper presents a new approach to the cooperative localization problem, namely distributed multi-robot localization. A group of M robots is viewed as a single system composed of robots that carry, in general, different sensors and have different positioning capabilities.

An Adaptive Technique for Local Distribution
IEEE Transactions on Communications, 1978A critical component of computer communications networks is local distribution, i.e., techniques for connecting geographically dispersed users to a central facility. A drawback to conventional polling techniques for local distribution is excessive overhead.

Object distribution with local information
Proceedings 21st International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems, 2002We investigate the problem of distributing communicating objects across wide-area environments. Our goals are to balance load, minimize network communication, and use resources efficiently. However, applications running in such environments are often dynamic and highly unpredictable. Furthermore, synchronous communication is usually too expensive to be

Localizing failures in distributed synchronization
IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, 1996The fault-tolerance of distributed algorithms is investigated in asynchronous message passing systems with undetectable process failures. Two specific synchronization problems are considered, the dining philosophers problem and the binary committee coordination problem.

Distribution and Localization of the GABAB Receptor
2016The functional GABAB receptors (GABABRs) are formed by obligate heteromers composed of two principal subunits named GABAB1 and GABAB2. In Drosophila melanogaster three GABAB subunits have been identified: GB1, GB2, and GB3. The GB1 and GB2 subunits need to be coexpressed in Xenopus oocytes or in mammalian cell lines to produce functional GABABRs.

Local-area distributed systems
IBM Systems Journal, 1989Advances in computing and networking have led to the use of local-area distributed systems. The following are example configurations: workstations and file servers, multiple computers that present the image of a single computer, and heterogeneous workstations and mainframes that cooperate loosely. The paper focuses on the system software.

Local Distributed Agent Matchmaking
2001This paper explores through simulation an abstract model of distributed matchmaking within multi-agent systems. We show that under certain conditions agents can find matches for cooperative tasks without the help of a predefined organization or central facilitator.

Distributional Issues in Local Taxation
The Economic Journal, 1991The introduction of the Community Charge, a poll tax, in place of the local tax on domestic property ('domestic rates') in Britain has highlighted important issues of both equity and efficiency in local government finance. The Government's own analysis, set out in a Green Paper issued at the start of i986,2 stressed the efficiency objectives of the ...
