Distributed Cooperative Localization

Journal of Information Technology Research, 2013
Localization for mobile platforms, in indoor scenarios, represents a cornerstone achievement to effective develop service and field robots able to safely cooperate. This paper proposes a methodology to achieve such a result by applying a completely decentralized and distributed algorithm.

Local optical distribution

[Proceedings] IEEE INFOCOM '92: The Conference on Computer Communications, 1992
The authors explore a metropolitan area network (MAN) configuration which assumes capabilities of optical fiber and optical components which are anticipated to be available within a ten-year time frame. There are two possible physical configurations: a basic topology, such as the star and the tree, and a compound configuration, such as the tree-star ...

Distributed simulation with locality

Proceedings 9th Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation (ACM/IEEE), 1995
We describe MOSS, a small language of mobile distributed objects and system-wide references, uncommitted to any distributed simulation protocol, but which can be executed as a distributed conservative simulation with automatic deduction of lookahead. We show how the MOSS programmer can control the dynamic distribution and locality of simulation objects

Distributed multirobot localization

IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, 2002
In this paper, we present a new approach to the problem of simultaneously localizing a group of mobile robots capable of sensing one another. Each of the robots collects sensor data regarding its own motion and shares this information with the rest of the team during the update cycles.

Locality in distributed computations

Proceedings of the 1988 ACM sixteenth annual conference on Computer science - CSC '88, 1988
The defining characteristic of a distributed system is the (temporal) distance between components; communication time is non-trivial compared to processing time. Because of this, the design of efficient distributed computations involves trade-offs between maximizing the amount of parallelism and minimizing communication costs. We argue that any sort of

Load distributing for locally distributed systems

Computer, 1992
The problem of judiciously and transparently redistributing the load of the system among its nodes so that overall performance is maximized is discussed. Several key issues in load distributing for general-purpose systems, including the motivations and design trade-offs for load-distributing algorithms, are reviewed.

Fault-Local Distributed Mending

Journal of Algorithms, 1999
Summary: As communication networks grow, existing fault handling tools that involve global measures such as global time-outs or reset procedures become increasingly unaffordable, since their cost grows with the size of the network. Rather, for a fault handling mechanism to scale to large networks, its cost must depend only on the number of failed nodes

Parametric localization of distributed sources

IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, 1995
Most array processing algorithms are based on the assumption that the signals are generated by point sources. This is a mathematical constraint that is not satisfied in many applications. In this paper, we consider situations where the sources are distributed in space with a parametric angular cross-correlation kernel.

Localization of distributed wireless cameras

2009 Third ACM/IEEE International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC), 2009
Cooperative cameras enable monitoring wide areas and detecting actions and events on a large scale. Due to hardware advancements and economic factors, distributed networks are becoming widely used for a variety of applications ranging from traffic monitoring and surveillance in shopping malls to sports coverage.

Distribution and locality of concurrent systems

1994
A new semantics for process description languages that discriminates according to the distribution in space of processes is proposed. The semantics is based on a set of distributed transition rules that record spatial information and on a notion of equivalence that discriminates according to which actions processes can perform and where these actions ...
