چکیده

Colouring a graph with its chromatic number of colours is known to be NP-hard. Identifying an algorithm in which descisions are made locally with no information about the graph’s global structure is particuarly challenging. In this article we analyse the complexity of a decentralised colouring algorithm that has recently been proposed for channel selection in wireless computer networks.

A decentralised coordination algorithm for minimising conflict and maximising coverage in sensor networks

In large wireless sensor networks, the problem of assigning radio frequencies to sensing agents such that no two connected sensors are assigned the same value (and will thus interfere with one another) is a major challenge. To tackle this problem, we develop a novel decentralised coordination algorithm that activates only a subset of the deployed agents, subject to the connectivity graph of thi...

Fast, Responsive Decentralised Graph Colouring

Graph colouring problem arises in numerous networking applications. We solve it in a fully decentralised way (i. e. with no message passing). We propose a novel algorithm that is automatically responsive to topology changes, and we prove that it converges to a proper colouring in O(N logN) time with high probability for generic graphs when the number of available colours is greater than ∆, the ...

An Analysis of an Optimal Bit Complexity Randomised Distributed Vertex Colouring

1.1 The Problem Let G = (V,E) be a simple undirected graph. A vertex colouring of G assigns colours to each vertex in such a way that neighbours have different colours. In this paper we discuss how efficient (time and bits) vertex colouring may be accomplished by exchange of bits between neighbouring vertices. The distributed complexity of vertex colouring is of fundamental interest for the stu...

Bounded decentralised coordination over multiple objectives

We propose the bounded multi-objective max-sum algorithm (B-MOMS), the first decentralised coordination algorithm for multi-objective optimisation problems. B-MOMS extends the max-sum message-passing algorithm for decentralised coordination to compute bounded approximate solutions to multi-objective decentralised constraint optimisation problems (MO-DCOPs). Specifically, we prove the optimality...

Decentralised coordination of low-power embedded devices using the max-sum algorithm

This paper considers the problem of performing decentralised coordination of low-power embedded devices (as is required within many environmental sensing and surveillance applications). Specifically, we address the generic problem of maximising social welfare within a group of interacting agents. We propose a novel representation of the problem, as a cyclic bipartite factor graph, composed of v...
