    • Asynchronous Failure Detectors 

      Cornejo, Alejandro; Lynch, Nancy; Sastry, Srikanth (2013-01-30)
      Failure detectors -- oracles that provide information about process crashes -- are an important abstraction for crash tolerance in distributed systems. The generality of failure-detector theory, while providing great ...

    • Task Allocation in Ant Colonies 

      Cornejo, Alejandro; Dornhaus, Anna; Nagpal, Radhika; Lynch, Nancy Ann (Springer-Verlag, 2014-08)
      In this paper we propose a mathematical model for studying the phenomenon of division of labor in ant colonies. Inside this model we investigate how simple task allocation mechanisms can be used to achieve an optimal ...
