摘要： A method and apparatus for computing properties of a physical environment is provided, using a plurality of agents forming a distributed network embedded within the environment. The method comprises determining an initiating agent 200, transmitting a signal including a cumulative cost value to neighboring agents 202, and processing the signal at each neighboring agent to augment the cumulative cost value with local information 204. If multiple signals are received, determining which has the best cumulative cost value for generating a new signal 206, then treating the neighboring agent as an initiating agent 208 and transmitting the new signal to neighboring agents 208 and retaining the best augmented cost value in memory 210. Methods further include determining paths using shortest path computations, using dual gradients for aligning agents on a path between two reference agents, and discovering and converging agents on choke points.

摘要： A method for controlling the movement of agents using local communications is provided. Generally, each agent maintains an optimal distance from other local neighbor agents by, for each agent 200, selecting a local agent 202, measuring the distance and angle to the agent 204, performing a distance maintenance calculation 218, and repeating the distance maintenance calculation 218 for each local agent. In the distance maintenance calculation 218, an attraction/repulsion map is used in order to determine whether an agent is attracted to or repelled from other agents. A motion vector is used to determine agent responses to the attraction or repulsion. Over time, the agents settle into a neutral configuration where each is optimally distanced from the other agents. Reference agents and leader agents can be designated to direct the movement of other agents, and agents can be designated as blocking beacons to repel other agents from undesirable areas.

摘要： A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for facilitating local signaling among a plurality of agents are presented. An agent 100 including a digital processor 102 a transmitter 104, and a directional receiver 106 comprising a plurality of angular regions 108 is configured to enable the selection of a signal from a plurality of signals received on the basis of local data such as the strength of the received signal. The local data may be incorporated into a cumulative data portion of a signal that is passed from local agent 100 to local agent 100 across a plurality of agents 100 in order to provide a gradient across the plurality of agents 100. The gradient could be used, for example, to determine a shortest path across the agents. The signaling techniques described can also be used to determine the distance and direction to objects in the signaling path.

摘要： Described is a method for event localization within a distributed sensor array using a plurality of sensor nodes. The method includes an act of receiving a signal in at least one detecting node. The signal originates from an external disturbance and has a local signal such that the local signal reflects a relative proximity (i.e., between the detecting nodes) to the external disturbance. The method also includes acts of exchanging information regarding the signal between the detecting node and nearby nodes; and localizing the external disturbance based on its relative proximity. Through receiving a signal that reflects a relative proximity to the external disturbance and exchanging that information between nearby nodes, the sensor array localizes the external disturbance.

摘要： A method for conducting an auction includes allowing one or more bidders to each bid on one or more resources, and for each of the bidders: determining a priority level; calculating a bid rate interval; and regulating the relative likelihood of the bidder winning the auction. Calculating a bid rate interval is accomplished using at least the determined priority level of the bidder. Regulating the relative likelihood of the bidder winning the auction is accomplished by regulating, based at least on the calculated bid rate interval, the time between successive bids on the one or more resources made by the bidder.

摘要： Moving a target mobile node to arrange a number of mobile nodes includes determining a first direction. A first relative position for each of the neighboring mobile nodes of the target mobile node is established. The target mobile node moves according to a first alignment procedure to align the mobile nodes in the first direction. A second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction is determined. A second relative position for each of the neighboring mobile nodes is established. The target mobile node moves according to a second alignment procedure to align the mobile nodes in the second direction.
