A Research Framework to Develop a Real-Time Synchrony Index to Monitor Team Cohesion and Performance in Long-Duration Space Exploration

Authors: Federico Nemmi, Emma Chabani, Laure Boyer, Charlie Madier, and Daniel Lewkowicz

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 130, Advancing Human-Computer Interaction for Space Exploration (SpaceCHI 2025)


Abstract
As humanity prepares for long-distance space exploration, optimizing group performance, the ability of a group to achieve its goals efficiently, is critical. Astronaut crews will endure isolation, confinement, and operational stress, making group synchrony - the alignment of behaviors, emotions, and physiological states - a key factor in mission success. Synchrony influences team cohesion, performance, and resilience, necessitating effective crew management strategies. This paper proposes a framework for a real-time, unobtrusive index of group synchrony to support astronauts and mission control. Research indicates that team cohesion fluctuates in isolated environments, with reduced communication and interpersonal conflicts emerging over time. A system tracking synchrony could mitigate these issues, providing proactive support and improving remote management. Additionally, it could serve as a cognitive and physiological feedback tool for astronauts and a decision-making aid for mission control, enhancing well-being and efficiency. Our approach integrates behavioral and physiological synchrony measures to assess team cohesion and performance. We propose a multi-modal synchrony index combining movement coordination, communication patterns, and physiological signals such as heart rate, electrodermal activity, and EEG. This index will be validated across different tasks to ensure applicability across diverse mission scenarios. By developing a robust synchrony index, we address a fundamental challenge in space missions: sustaining team effectiveness under extreme conditions. Beyond space exploration, our findings could benefit high-risk, high-isolation teams in submarine crews, polar expeditions, and remote research groups. Our collaboration with the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, the Institut de Médecine et de Physiologie Spatiales, and the Toulouse University Hospital marks the first step, with experimental data collection starting this year. Ultimately, this research fosters more adaptive, responsive, and resilient teams for future space missions.

A Universal Uniform Approximation Theorem for Neural Networks

Authors: Olivier Bournez, Johanne Cohen, and Adrian Wurm

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)


Abstract
We show the existence of a fixed recurrent network capable of approximating any computable function with arbitrary precision, provided that an encoding of the function is given in the initial input. While uniform approximation over a compact domain is a well-known property of neural networks, we go further by proving that our network ensures effective uniform approximation - simultaneously ensuring: - Uniform approximation in the sup-norm sense, guaranteeing precision across the compact domain {[0,1]^d}; - Uniformity in the sense of computability theory (also referred to as effectivity or universality), meaning the same network works for all computable functions. Our result is obtained constructively, using original arguments. Moreover, our construction bridges computation theory with neural network approximation, providing new insights into the fundamental connections between circuit complexity and function representation. Furthermore, this connection extends beyond computability to complexity theory. The obtained network is efficient: if a function is computable or approximable in polynomial time in the Turing machine model, then the network requires only a polynomial number of recurrences or iterations to achieve the same level of approximation, and conversely. Moreover, the recurrent network can be assumed to be very narrow, strengthening the link our results and existing models of very deep learning, where uniform approximation properties have already been established.

The Expressive Power of Uniform Population Protocols with Logarithmic Space

Authors: Philipp Czerner, Vincent Fischer, and Roland Guttenberg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 330, 4th Symposium on Algorithmic Foundations of Dynamic Networks (SAND 2025)


Abstract
Population protocols are a model of computation in which indistinguishable mobile agents interact in pairs to decide a property of their initial configuration. Originally introduced by Angluin et. al. in 2004 with a constant number of states, research nowadays focuses on protocols where the space usage depends on the number of agents. The expressive power of population protocols has so far however only been determined for protocols using o(log n) states, which compute only semilinear predicates, and for Ω(n) states. This leaves a significant gap, particularly concerning protocols with Θ(log n) or Θ(polylog n) states, which are the most common constructions in the literature. In this paper we close the gap and prove that for any ε > 0 and f ∈ Ω(log n)∩𝒪(n^{1-ε}), both uniform and non-uniform population protocols with Θ(f(n)) states can decide exactly those predicates, whose unary encoding lies in NSPACE(f(n) log n).

Exponential-Time Approximation (Schemes) for Vertex-Ordering Problems

Authors: Matthias Bentert, Fedor V. Fomin, Tanmay Inamdar, and Saket Saurabh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 325, 16th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2025)


Abstract
In this paper, we begin the exploration of vertex-ordering problems through the lens of exponential-time approximation algorithms. In particular, we ask the following question: Can we simultaneously beat the running times of the fastest known (exponential-time) exact algorithms and the best known approximation factors that can be achieved in polynomial time? Following the recent research initiated by Esmer et al. (ESA 2022, IPEC 2023, SODA 2024) on vertex-subset problems, and by Inamdar et al. (ITCS 2024) on graph-partitioning problems, we focus on vertex-ordering problems. In particular, we give positive results for Feedback Arc Set, Optimal Linear Arrangement, Cutwidth, and Pathwidth. Most of our algorithms build upon a novel "balanced-cut" approach - which is our main conceptual contribution. This allows us to solve various problems in very general settings allowing for directed and arc-weighted input graphs. Our main technical contribution is a (1+ε)-approximation for any ε > 0 for (weighted) Feedback Arc Set in O^*((2-δ_ε)^n) time, where δ_ε > 0 is a constant only depending on ε.

Self-Stabilizing Fully Adaptive Maximal Matching

Authors: Shimon Bitton, Yuval Emek, Taisuke Izumi, and Shay Kutten

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 324, 28th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2024)


Abstract
A self-stabilizing randomized algorithm for mending maximal matching (MM) in synchronous networks is presented. Starting from a legal MM configuration and assuming that the network undergoes k faults or topology changes (that may occur in multiple batches), the algorithm is guaranteed to stabilize back to a legal MM configuration in time O(log k) in expectation and with high probability (in k), using constant size messages. The algorithm is simple to implement and is uniform in the sense that it does not assume unique identifiers, nor does it assume any global knowledge of the communication graph including its size. It relies on a generic probabilistic phase synchronization technique that may be useful for other self-stabilizing problems. The algorithm compares favorably with the existing self-stabilizing MM algorithms in terms of the dependence of its run-time on k, a.k.a. fully adaptive run-time. In fact, this dependence is asymptotically optimal for uniform algorithms that use constant size messages.

Making Self-Stabilizing Algorithms for Any Locally Greedy Problem

Authors: Johanne Cohen, Laurence Pilard, Mikaël Rabie, and Jonas Sénizergues

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 257, 2nd Symposium on Algorithmic Foundations of Dynamic Networks (SAND 2023)


Abstract
Self-stabilizing algorithms are a way to deal with network dynamicity, as it will update itself after a network change (addition or removal of nodes or edges), as long as changes are not frequent. We propose an automatic transformation of synchronous distributed algorithms that solve locally greedy and mendable problems into self-stabilizing algorithms in anonymous networks. Mendable problems are a generalization of greedy problems where any partial solution may be transformed -instead of completed- into a global solution: every time we extend the partial solution, we are allowed to change the previous partial solution up to a given distance. Locally here means that to extend a solution for a node, we need to look at a constant distance from it. In order to do this, we propose the first explicit self-stabilizing algorithm computing a (k,k-1)-ruling set (i.e. a "maximal independent set at distance k"). By combining this technique multiple times, we compute a distance-K coloring of the graph. With this coloring we can finally simulate Local model algorithms running in a constant number of rounds, using the colors as unique identifiers. Our algorithms work under the Gouda daemon, similar to the probabilistic daemon: if an event should eventually happen, it will occur.

Polynomial Time Algorithm for ARRIVAL on Tree-Like Multigraphs

Authors: David Auger, Pierre Coucheney, and Loric Duhazé

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 241, 47th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2022)


Abstract
A rotor walk in a directed graph can be thought of as a deterministic version of a Markov Chain, where a pebble moves from vertex to vertex following a simple rule until a terminal vertex, or sink, has been reached. The ARRIVAL problem, as defined by Dohrau et al. [Dohrau et al., 2017], consists in determining which sink will be reached. While the walk itself can take an exponential number of steps, this problem belongs to the complexity class NP ∩ co-NP without being known to be in P. In this work, we define a class of directed graphs, namely tree-like multigraphs, which are multigraphs having the global shape of an undirected tree. We prove that in this class, ARRIVAL can be solved in almost linear time, while the number of steps of a rotor walk can still be exponential. Then, we give an application of this result to solve some deterministic analogs of stochastic models (e.g., Markovian decision processes, Stochastic Games).

Polynomial Self-Stabilizing Maximum Matching Algorithm with Approximation Ratio 2/3

Authors: Johanne Cohen, Khaled Maâmra, George Manoussakis, and Laurence Pilard

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 70, 20th International Conference on Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS 2016)


Abstract
We present the first polynomial self-stabilizing algorithm for finding a (2/3)-approximation of a maximum matching in a general graph. The previous best known algorithm has been presented by Manne et al. and has a sub-exponential time complexity under the distributed adversarial daemon. Our new algorithm is an adaptation of the Manne et al. algorithm and works under the same daemon, but with a time complexity in O(n^3) moves. Moreover, our algorithm only needs one more boolean variable than the previous one, thus as in the Manne et al. algorithm, it only requires a constant amount of memory space (three identifiers and two booleans per node).
