Survey on Topological Methods in Distributed Computing
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the most exciting developments in the theory of distributed computing in recent years has been the application of powerful concepts from topology to prove results about computability in resilient distributed systems. Topology is a branch of mathematics that deals with connectivity and convergence of certain types of objects. As it turns out, the higher dimensional connectivity properties of these special objects are related to the solvability of certain distributed computing tasks. In this survey, we thoroughly investigate the topological approach to distributed computing, especially how to use techniques from combinatorial and algebraic topology to prove impossibility and lower bound results for important problems in distributed systems.

Use of Structure Codes (Counts) for Computing Topological Indices of Carbon Nanotubes: Sadhana (Sd) Index of Phenylenes and its Hexagonal Squeezes
Structural codes vis-a-vis structural counts, like polynomials of a molecular graph, are important in computing graph-theoretical descriptors which are commonly known as topological indices. These indices are most important for characterizing carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In this paper we have computed Sadhana index (Sd) for phenylenes and their hexagonal squeezes using structural codes (counts). Sa...
متن کاملA SIMPLE ALGORITHM FOR COMPUTING TOPOLOGICAL INDICES OF DENDRIMERS
Dendritic macromolecules’ have attracted much attention as organic examples of well-defined nanostructures. These molecules are ideal model systems for studying how physical properties depend on molecular size and architecture. In this paper using a simple result, some GAP programs are prepared to compute Wiener and hyper Wiener indices of dendrimers.

$L$-fuzzy rough sets are extensions of the classical rough sets by relaxing theequivalence relations to $L$-relations. The topological structures induced by$L$-fuzzy rough sets have opened up the way for applications of topological factsand methods in granular computing. In this paper, we firstly prove thateach arbitrary $L$-relation can generate an Alexandrov $L$-topology.Based on this fact, w...
متن کاملDisTriB: Distributed Trust Management Model Based on Gossip Learning and Bayesian Networks in Collaborative Computing Systems
The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...
