Optimal Dispersion Under Asynchrony
We study the dispersion problem in anonymous port-labeled graphs: $k \leq n$ mobile agents, each with a unique ID and initially located arbitrarily on the nodes of an $n$-node graph with maximum degree $Δ$, must autonomously relocate so that no node hosts more than one agent. Dispersion serves as a fundamental task in distributed computing of mobile agents, and its complexity stems from key challenges in local coordination under anonymity and limited memory. The goal is to minimize both the …

Peer Review as Structured Commentary: Immutable Identity, Public Dialogue, and Reproducible Scholarship
This paper reconceptualises peer review as structured public commentary. Traditional academic validation is hindered by anonymity, latency, and gatekeeping. We propose a transparent, identity-linked, and reproducible system of scholarly evaluation anchored in open commentary. Leveraging blockchain for immutable audit trails and AI for iterative synthesis, we design a framework that incentivises intellectual contribution, captures epistemic evolution, and enables traceable reputational dynamics.…

Anyone who follows me has probably gathered that I've become a fan of Discourse after running a few Discourse instances. They are currently requesting feedback.
I was pleased to see that they used a survey vendor that appears to have meaningful a11y — I didn't look for aria labels so I won't speak to that, but what I did notice is that there is explicitly-labeled support for keyboard-only interaction on every page, and I really appreciated that thoughtfulness.

Computing Tree Structures in Anonymous Graphs via Mobile Agents
Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) and Breadth-First Search (BFS) tree constructions are classical problems in distributed computing, traditionally studied in the message-passing model, where static nodes communicate via messages. This paper investigates MST and BFS tree construction in an agent-based network, where mobile agents explore a graph and compute. Each node hosts one agent, and communication occurs when agents meet at a node. We consider $n$ agents initially dispersed (one per node) in an a…
