    • An Algorithm for Group Formation and Maximal Independent Set in an Amorphous Computer 

      Nagpal, Radhika; Coore, Daniel (1998-02-01)
      Amorphous computing is the study of programming ultra-scale computing environments of smart sensors and actuators cite{white-paper}. The individual elements are identical, asynchronous, randomly placed, embedded and ...
    • Amorphous Computing 

      Abelson, Harold; Allen, Don; Coore, Daniel; Hanson, Chris; Homsy, George; e.a. (1999-08-29)
      Amorphous computing is the development of organizational principles and programming languages for obtaining coherent behaviors from the cooperation of myriads of unreliable parts that are interconnected in unknown, ...
    • Organizing a Global Coordinate System from Local Information on an Amorphous Computer 

      Nagpal, Radhika (1999-08-29)
      This paper demonstrates that it is possible to generate a reasonably accurate coordinate system on randomly distributed processors, using only local information and local communication. By coordinate systems we imply ...
    • Paradigms for Structure in an Amorphous Computer 

      Coore, Daniel; Nagpal, Radhika; Weiss, Ron (1997-10-01)
      Recent developments in microfabrication and nanotechnology will enable the inexpensive manufacturing of massive numbers of tiny computing elements with sensors and actuators. New programming paradigms are required for ...
