Distributed Computation of Web Queries using Automata
Summary: Proposes a distributed model for Web querying where interacting register automata augmented with explicit communication run at Web nodes to collaboratively evaluate queries. Gives necessary-and-sufficient conditions for computability and analyzes the systems' computational power. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
