Pipeline-based applications have become an integral part of life. However, knowing that the pipeline systems can be largely deployed in inaccessible and hazardous environment, active monitoring frequent inspection are highly expensive using traditional maintenance systems. Robot agents been considered as attractive alternative. Although many different types exploration robots proposed, they were suffered from various limitations. In this paper, we present design implementation a...
We consider the problem of repositioning N autonomous robots on a plane so that each robot is visible to all others (the Complete Visibility problem), cannot see another if there third positioned between them straight line joining them. Robots communicate using collared lights. The computation synchronous and performs look-compute-move during round. Specifically, round permitted observe light position every it. It may also perform an internal based observed lights positions(including...

Given an undirected, anonymous, port-labeled graph of $n$ memory-less nodes, $m$ edges, and degree $\Delta$, we consider the problem dispersing $k\leqn$ robots positioned initially arbitrarily on nodes to exactly $k$ different one robot per node. The objective is simultaneously minimize time memory. If all are a single node, DFS traversal solves this in $O(\min\{m,k\Delta\})$ with $\Theta(\log(k+\Delta))$ bits robot. Otherwise, best previously known algorithm takes $O(\min\{m,k\Delta\}\cdot...
We consider the problem of implementing transactional memory in large-scale distributed networked systems. present and analyze Spiral, a novel directory-based protocol for memory. Spiral is designed data-flow implementation software which supports three basic operations: publish, allowing shared object to be inserted directory so that other nodes can find it; lookup, providing read-only copy requesting node; move, node write locally after gets it. The runs on hierarchical construction based...
