Gathering in Vertex- and Edge-Transitive Graphs without Multiplicity Detection under Round Robin

Serafino Cicerone, Alessia Di Fonso, Gabriele Di Stefano +1

In the field of swarm robotics, one of the most studied problem is Gathering. It asks for a distributed algorithm that brings the robots to a common location, not known in advance.…

Gathering in Non-Vertex-Transitive Graphs Under Round Robin

Serafino Cicerone, Alessia Di Fonso, Gabriele Di Stefano +1

The Gathering problem for a swarm of robots asks for a distributed algorithm that brings such entities to a common place, not known in advance. We consider the well-known OBLOT mod…

On the impact of unlimited computational power in OBLOT: consequences for synchronous robots on graphs

Serafino Cicerone, Alessia Di Fonso, Gabriele Di Stefano +1

The OBLOT model has been extensively studied in theoretical swarm robotics. It assumes weak capabilities for the involved mobile robots, such as they are anonymous, disoriented, no…

An optimal algorithm for geodesic mutual visibility on hexagonal grids

Sahar Badri, Serafino Cicerone, Alessia Di Fonso +1

For a set of robots (or agents) moving in a graph, two properties are highly desirable: confidentiality (i.e., a message between two agents must not pass through any intermediate a…

Time-optimal geodesic mutual visibility of robots on grids within minimum area

Serafino Cicerone, Alessia Di Fonso, Gabriele Di Stefano +1

The \textsc{Mutual Visibility} is a well-known problem in the context of mobile robots. For a set of robots disposed in the Euclidean plane, it asks for moving the robots witho…

Arbitrary Pattern Formation on Infinite Regular Tessellation Graphs

Serafino Cicerone, Alessia Di Fonso, Gabriele Di Stefano +1

Given a set R of robots, each one located at different vertices of an infinite regular tessellation graph, we aim to explore the Arbitrary Pattern Formation (APF) problem. Given a…

A methodology to design distributed algorithms for mobile entities: the pattern formation problem as case study

Serafino Cicerone, Gabriele Di Stefano, Alfredo Navarra

Following the wide investigation in distributed computing issues by mobile entities of the last two decades, we consider the need of a structured methodology to tackle the arisen p…

Asynchronous Arbitrary Pattern Formation: the effects of a rigorous approach

Serafino Cicerone, Gabriele Di Stefano, Alfredo Navarra

Given any multiset F of points in the Euclidean plane and a set R of robots such that |R|=|F|, the Arbitrary Pattern Formation (APF) problem asks for a distributed algorithm that m…
