Given an arbitrarily distributed (yet connected) swarm of robots, the gathering problem on the grid is to locate all robots within a 2x2- sized area that is not known beforehand. Two robots are connected if they are vertical or horizontal neighbors on the grid. The locality constraint means that no global control, no compass, no global communication and only local vision is available; hence, a robot can only see its grid neighbors up to a constant L1-distance, which also limits its movements. A robot can move to one of its eight neighboring grid cells and if two or more robots move to the same location they are merged to be only one robot. The locality constraint is the significant challenging issue here, since robot move- ments must not harm the (only globally checkable) swarm connectivity. For solving the gathering problem, we provide a synchronous algorithm { executed by every robot { which ensures that robots merge without breaking the swarm con- nectivity. In our model, robots can obtain a special state, which marks such a robot to be performing specific connec- tivity preserving movements in order to allow later merge operations of the swarm. Compared to the grid, for gath- ering in the Euclidean plane for the same robot and time model the best known upper bound is O(n^2). author: - first_name: Andreas full_name: Cord-Landwehr, Andreas last_name: Cord-Landwehr - first_name: Matthias full_name: Fischer, Matthias id: '146' last_name: Fischer - first_name: Daniel full_name: Jung, Daniel id: '37827' last_name: Jung - first_name: Friedhelm full_name: Meyer auf der Heide, Friedhelm id: '15523' last_name: Meyer auf der Heide citation: ama: 'Cord-Landwehr A, Fischer M, Jung D, Meyer auf der Heide F.

Initially, the robots form a closed chain on the grid and must keep this connectivity during the whole process of their gathering. Connectivity means, that neighboring robots of the chain need to be positioned at the same or neighboring points of the grid. In our model, gathering means to keep shortening the chain until the robots are located inside a 2*2 subgrid. Our model is completely local (no global control, no global coordinates, no compass, no global communication or vision, ...). Each robot can only see its next constant number of left and right neighbors on the chain. This fixed constant is called the viewing path length. All its operations and detections are restricted to this constant number of robots. Other robots, even if located at neighboring or the same grid point cannot be detected. Only based on the relative positions of its detectable chain neighbors, a robot can decide to obtain a certain state. Based on this state and their local knowledge, the robots do local modifications to the chain by moving to neighboring grid points without breaking the chain. These modifications are performed without the knowledge whether they lead to a global progress or not. We assume the fully synchronous FSYNC model. For this problem, we present a gathering algorithm which needs linear time. This result generalizes a result, where an open chain with specified distinguishable (and fixed) endpoints is considered.

Classically, decisions for such problems are considered as final: one buys the goods. However, in many real world applications, there is a shift away from the idea of buying goods. Instead, leasing is often a more flexible and lucrative business model. Research has realized this shift and recently initiated the theoretical study of leasing models (Anthony and Gupta in Proceedings of the integer programming and combinatorial optimization: 12th International IPCO Conference, Ithaca, NY, USA, June 25–27, 2007; Meyerson in Proceedings of the 46th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS 2005), 23–25 Oct 2005, Pittsburgh, PA, USA, 2005; Nagarajan and Williamson in Discret Optim 10(4):361–370, 2013) We extend this line of work and suggest a more systematic study of leasing aspects for a class of online optimization problems. We provide two major technical results. We introduce the leasing variant of online set multicover and give an O(log(mK)logn)-competitive algorithm (with n, m, and K being the number of elements, sets, and leases, respectively). Our results also imply improvements for the non-leasing variant of online set cover. Moreover, we extend results for the leasing variant of online facility location. Nagarajan and Williamson (Discret Optim 10(4):361–370, 2013) gave an O(Klogn)-competitive algorithm for this problem (with n and K being the number of clients and leases, respectively). We remove the dependency on n (and, thereby, on time). In general, this leads to a bound of O(lmaxloglmax) (with the maximal lease length lmax). For many natural problem instances, the bound improves to O(K2).' author: - first_name: Sebastian full_name: Abshoff, Sebastian last_name: Abshoff - first_name: Peter full_name: Kling, Peter last_name: Kling - first_name: Christine full_name: Markarian, Christine id: '37612' last_name: Markarian - first_name: Friedhelm full_name: Meyer auf der Heide, Friedhelm id: '15523' last_name: Meyer auf der Heide - first_name: 'Peter ' full_name: 'Pietrzyk, Peter ' last_name: Pietrzyk citation: ama: Abshoff S, Kling P, Markarian C, Meyer auf der Heide F, Pietrzyk P.

In addition to extending this result from genus 1 to any bounded genus k, and unlike the work reported by Limaye et al., we do not require a precomputed embedding to be given. Most importantly, our results imply that given a P-complete problem, it is possible to find an algorithm that makes the problem fall into NC by fixing one or more parameters. Hence, we deduce the interesting analogy: Fixed Parameter Parallelizable (FPP) is with respect to P-complete what Fixed Parameter Tractable (FPT) is with respect to NP-complete.

In order to support this work, we present the peer-to-peer system simulator PeerfactSim.KOM, which we extended over the last years. PeerfactSim.KOM comes with an extensive layer model to support various facets and protocols of peer-to-peer networking. In this article, we describe PeerfactSim.KOM and show how it can be used for detailed measurements of large-scale peer-to-peer networks. We enhanced PeerfactSim.KOM with a fine-grained analyzer concept, with exhaustive automated measurements and gnuplot generators as well as a coordination control to evaluate sets of experiment setups in parallel. Thus, by configuring all experiments and protocols only once and starting the simulator, all desired measurements are performed, analyzed, evaluated, and combined, resulting in a holistic environment for the comparative evaluation of peer-to-peer systems. An immediate comparison of different configurations and overlays under different aspects is possible directly after the execution without any manual post-processing.

In this paper we motivate and present the research program of the project flora robotica. Our objective is to develop and to investigate closely linked symbiotic relationships between robots and natural plants and to explore the potentials of a plant-robot society able to produce architectural artifacts and living spaces. These robot-plant bio-hybrids create synergies that allow for new functions of plants and robots. They also create novel design opportunities for an architecture that fuses the design and construction phase. The bio-hybrid is an example of mixed societies between 'hard' artificial and 'wet' natural life, which enables an interaction between natural and artificial ecologies. They form an embodied, self-organizing, and distributed cognitive system which is supposed to grow and develop over long periods of time resulting in the creation of meaningful architectural structures. A key idea is to assign equal roles to robots and plants in order to create a highly integrated, symbiotic system. Besides the gain of knowledge, this project has the objective to create a bio-hybrid system with a defined function and application -- growing architectural artifacts. author: - first_name: Heiko full_name: Hamann, Heiko last_name: Hamann - first_name: Mostafa full_name: Wahby, Mostafa last_name: Wahby - first_name: Thomas full_name: Schmickl, Thomas last_name: Schmickl - first_name: Payam full_name: Zahadat, Payam last_name: Zahadat - first_name: Daniel full_name: Hofstadler, Daniel last_name: Hofstadler - first_name: Kasper full_name: Stoy, Kasper last_name: Stoy - first_name: Sebastian full_name: Risi, Sebastian last_name: Risi - first_name: Andres full_name: Faina, Andres last_name: Faina - first_name: Frank full_name: Veenstra, Frank last_name: Veenstra - first_name: Serge full_name: Kernbach, Serge last_name: Kernbach - first_name: Igor full_name: Kuksin, Igor last_name: Kuksin - first_name: Olga full_name: Kernbach, Olga last_name: Kernbach - first_name: Phil full_name: Ayres, Phil last_name: Ayres - first_name: Przemyslaw full_name: Wojtaszek, Przemyslaw last_name: Wojtaszek citation: ama: 'Hamann H, Wahby M, Schmickl T, et al.

These approaches require the definition of a behavioral distance, which often includes task-specific features and hence a priori knowledge. Alternative methods, which do not explicitly force selective pressure towards diversity (SPTD) but still generate it, are known from the field of artificial life, such as in artificial ecologies (AEs). In this study, we investigate how SPTD is generated without task-specific behavioral features or other forms of a priori knowledge and detect how methods of generating SPTD can be transferred from the domain of AE to ER. A promising finding is that in both types of systems, in systems from ER that generate behavioral diversity and also in the investigated speciation model, selective pressure is generated towards unpopulated regions of search space. In a simple case study we investigate the practical implications of these findings and point to options for transferring the idea of self-organizing SPTD in AEs to the domain of ER. author: - first_name: Heiko full_name: Hamann, Heiko last_name: Hamann citation: ama: 'Hamann H.

Potentially, the complexity of evolving a successful controller for a given task can be reduced by integrating a priori knowledge into the fitness function which complicates the comparability of studies in evolutionary robotics. Still, there are only few publications that study the actual effects of different fitness functions on the robot's performance. In this paper, we follow the fitness function classification of Nelson et al. (2009) and investigate a selection of four classes of fitness functions that require different degrees of a priori knowledge. The robot controllers are evolved in simulation using NEAT and we investigate different tasks including obstacle avoidance and (periodic) goal homing. The best evolved controllers were then post-evaluated by examining their potential for adaptation, determining their convergence rates, and using cross-comparisons based on the different fitness function classes. The results confirm that the integration of more a priori knowledge can simplify a task and show that more attention should be paid to fitness function classes when comparing different studies. author: - first_name: Heiko full_name: Hamann, Heiko last_name: Hamann - first_name: Mohammad full_name: Divband Soorati, Mohammad last_name: Divband Soorati citation: ama: 'Hamann H, Divband Soorati M.
