An Introduction to Distributed Algorithms takes up some of the main concepts and
algorithms, ranging from basic to advanced techniques and applications, that underlie the …

As arti cial neural networks (ANNs) gain popularity in a variety of application domains, it is
critical that these models run fast and generate results in real time. Although a number of …

This paper introduces SATyrus, a neuro-symbolic architecture oriented to optimization
problem solving via mapping problems specification into sets of pseudo-Boolean …

Lexical ambiguity can be syntactic if it involves more than one grammatical category for a
single word, or semantic if more than one meaning can be associated with a word. In this …

The occurrence of communication deadlocks caused by the unavailability of message
buffers during the execution of distributed parallel programs is investigated. Such deadlocks …

This work introduces a methodology to ease the implementation of BIST in asynchronous
circuits. Scheduling by edge reversal (SER), a simple but powerful distributed synchronizer …

This paper introduces a novel approach to the specification of hard combinatorial problems
as pseudo-Boolean constraints. It is shown (i) how this set of constraints defines an energy …

This paper presents two new randomized distributed algorithms for the generation of acyclic
orientations upon anonymous distributed systems of arbitrary topology. Both algorithms …

The computational potentiality of ultra-large numbers of processing units working in parallel
may be nullified if proper co-ordination mechanisms do not exist. Surprisingly, most …

A fully distributed, self-timed, self-organizing updating mechanism based on Barbosa's
Scheduling by Edge Reversal (SER) algorithm [1] and Edelman's Theory of Neuronal Group …
