Abstract

Distributed Computing by Mobile Entities is concerned with the study of the computational and complexity issues arising in systems of decentralized computational entities operating in a spatial universe Encompassing and modeling a large variety of application environments and systems, from robotic swarms to networks of mobile sensors, from software mobile agents in communication networks to crawlers and viruses on the web, the theoretical research in this area intersects distributed computing with the fields of computational geometry (especially for continuous spaces), control theory, graph theory and combinatorics (especially for discrete spaces). The research focus is on determining what tasks can be performed by the entities, under what conditions, and at what cost. In particular, the central question is to determine what minimal hypotheses allow a given problem to be solved. This book is based on the lectures and tutorial presented at the research meeting on “Moving and Computing" (mac) held at La Maddalena Island in June 2017. Greatly expanded, revised and updated, each of the lectures forms an individual Chapter. Together, they provide a map of the current knowledge about the boundaries of distributed computing by mobile entities.

Abstract

The study of what can be computed by a team of autonomous mobile robots, originally started in robotics and AI, has become increasingly popular in theoretical computer science (especially in distributed computing), where it is now an integral part of the investigations on computability by mobile entities. The robots are identical computational entities located and able to move in a spatial universe; they operate without explicit communication and are usually unable to remember the past; they are extremely simple, with limited resources, and individually quite weak. However, collectively the robots are capable of performing complex tasks, and form a system with desirable fault-tolerant and self-stabilizing properties. The research has been concerned with the computational aspects of such systems. In particular, the focus has been on the minimal capabilities that the robots should have in order to solve a problem. This book focuses on the recent algorithmic results in the field of distributed computing by oblivious mobile robots (unable to remember the past). After introducing the computational model with its nuances, we focus on basic coordination problems: pattern formation, gathering, scattering, leader election, as well as on dynamic tasks such as flocking. For each of these problems, we provide a snapshot of the state of the art, reviewing the existing algorithmic results. In doing so, we outline solution techniques, and we analyze the impact of the different assumptions on the robots' computability power. Table of Contents: Introduction / Computational Models / Gathering and Convergence / Pattern Formation / Scatterings and Coverings / Flocking / Other Directions.

Abstract

The9thInternationalConferenceonPrinciplesofDistributedSystems(OPODIS 2005) was held during December 12-14, 2005 in Pisa, Italy. It continued a t- dition of successful conferences with friendly and pleasant atmospheres. Pre- ous OPODIS conferences were held in Chantilly (1997), Amiens (1998), Hanoi (1999), Paris (2000), Mexico (2001), Reims (2002), La Martinique (2003), and Grenoble (2004). TheOPODISconferenceconstitutesanopenforumfor theexchangeofsta- of-the-art knowledge on distributed computing and systems among researchers from around the world. Following the tradition of the previous events, the 2005 program was composed of high-quality contributed papers by experts of int- national caliber in this scienti?c area. Papers were sought soliciting original research contributions to the theory, speci?cations, design and implementation of distributed systems, including: - communication and synchronization protocols - distributed algorithms, multiprocessor algorithms - distributed collaborative environments - embedded systems - fault-tolerance, reliability, availability - grid and cluster computing - location- and context-aware systems - mobile computing and networks - peer-to-peer systems, overlay networks - performance analysis of distributed algorithms and systems - real-time systems - security issues in distributed computing and systems - sensor networks - speci?cation veri?cation and testing of distributed systems This year, a particular focus was placed on real-time systems and wireless networks. In response to the call for papers for OPODIS 2005, 109 papers in the above areas were submitted from 30 countries from around the world. Each paper was reviewed by at least three reviewers, and judged according to scienti?c and p- sentationquality,originalityandrelevancetotheconferencetopics. TheProgram Committee selected 30 papers for presentation at the conference.
