Dynamical Distributed Memory Systems

Criticality, stability, competition, and consolidation of new representations in brain networks

The brain forms and stores distributed representations from sparse external input that compete for neuronal resources with already stored memory traces. It is unclear what dynamical properties of neural systems allow formation and subsequent consolidation of new, distributed memory representations under these conditions. Here we use analytical, computational, and experimental approaches to show...

Joining a Distributed Shared Memory Computation in a Dynamic Distributed System

Abstract. This paper is on the implementation of high level communication abstractions in dynamic systems (i.e., systems where the entities can enter and leave arbitrarily). Two abstractions are investigated, namely the read/write register and add/remove/get set data structure. The paper studies the join protocol that a process has to execute when it enters the system, in order to obtain a cons...

Dynamical Systems on Hilbert C*-Modules

On Two-parameter Dynamical Systems and Applications

In this note some useful properties of strongly continuous two-parameter semigroups of operators are studied, an exponential formula for two-parameter semigroups of operators on Banach spaces is obtained and some applied examples of two-parameter dynamical systems are discussed

Distributed Fuzzy Adaptive Sliding Mode Formation for Nonlinear Multi-quadrotor Systems

This paper suggests a decentralized adaptive sliding mode formation procedure for affine nonlinear multi-quadrotor under a fixed directed topology wherever the followers are conquered by dynamical uncertainties. Compared with the previous studies which primarily concentrated on linear single-input single-output (SISO) agents or nonlinear agents with constant control gain, the proposed method is...

From Fast to Lightweight Atomic Memory in Large-Scale Dynamic Distributed Systems

Failure resilience is a fundamental problem. If failures are frequent, it is reasonable to envisage the replication on multiple servers. Although replicating an object (i.e., data) over multiple network locations copes with failures, this makes object modification costly in term of message exchanges to guarantee consistency. In large-scale dynamic systems, nodes join or leave the system arbitra...
