CD-Systems of Stateless Deterministic R(1)-Automata Governed by an External Pushdown Store
(2011-01-06)
We study cooperating distributed systems (CD-systems) of stateless deterministic restarting automata with window size 1 that are governed by an external pushdown store. In this way we obtain an automata-theoretical characterization for the class of context-free trace languages.

On Parallel Communicating Grammar Systems and Correctness Preserving Restarting Automata
(2008-11-18)
This paper contributes to the study of Freely Rewriting Restarting Automata (FRR-automata) and Parallel Communicating Grammar Systems (PCGS), which both are useful models in computational linguistics. For PCGSs we study two complexity measures called 'generation complexity' and 'distribution complexity', and we prove that a PCGS Pi, for which the generation complexity and the distribution complexity are both bounded by constants, can be transformed into a freely rewriting restarting automaton of a very restricted ...

CD-Systems of Restarting Automata Governed by Explicit Enable and Disable Conditions
(2009-12-10)
We introduce a new mode of operation for CD-systems of restarting automata by providing explicit enable and disable conditions in the form of regular constraints. We show that, for each CD-system M of restarting automata and each mode m of operation considered by Messerschmidt and Otto, there exists a CD-system M' of restarting automata of the same type as M that, working in the new mode ed, accepts the language that M accepts in mode m. Further, we prove that in mode ed, a locally deterministic CD-system of restarting ...

On Globally Deterministic CD-Systems of Stateless R-Automata with Window Size One
(2011-03-30)
It is known that cooperating distributed systems (CD-systems) of stateless deterministic restarting automata with window size 1 accept a class of semi-linear languages that properly includes all rational trace languages. Although the component automata of such a CD-system are all deterministic, in general the CD-system itself is not, as in each of its computations, the initial component and the successor components are still chosen nondeterministically. Here we study CD-systems of stateless deterministic restarting ...

Applicability of Emergence Engineering to Distributed Systems Scenarios
(2009-01-09)
Genetic Programming can be effectively used to create emergent behavior for a group of autonomous agents. In the process we call Offline Emergence Engineering, the behavior is at first bred in a Genetic Programming environment and then deployed to the agents in the real environment. In this article we shortly describe our approach, introduce an extended behavioral rule syntax, and discuss the impact of the expressiveness of the behavioral description to the generation success, using two scenarios in comparison: the ...
