Population protocols are a new paradigm that aims to model distributed systems composed
of randomly interacting mobile agents. The main advantage of this model is that, when …

Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) enable a countless set of next-generation
applications thanks to the technological progress of the last decades. These applications …

This paper proposes a new extension of the population protocol (PP) model, the linearly-
weighted interaction population protocol (LIPP) model, which introduces weights of agents …

Population protocols provide theoretical foundations for mobile tiny device networks in
which global behavior emerges from a set of simple interactions between anonymous …

The population protocol model (PP) proposed by Angluin et al.[2] describes sensor networks
consisting of passively mobile finite-state agents. The agents sense their environment and …

Population protocols are a formal model of sensor networks consisting of identical mobile
devices. Two devices can interact and thereby change their states. Computations are infinite …

Context-aware systems have a high potential of application in mobile networks because the
context in which they operate is highly dynamic. In particular, vehicular ad-hoc networks …

A model of agent-based simulation of communicating vehicles is presented to study the
information spreading in a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). The agents are moving along …

Population protocols were introduced to capture the specifics of opportunistic networks of tny
mobile agents with limited memory and capable of wireless communication in pairs. This …

This work concerns the general issue of combined optimality in terms of time and space
complexity. In this context, we study the problem of (exact) counting resource-limited and …
