Publications — source-of-truth digests

Structured technical digests of the AntHocNet publications this repository implements. Each digest restates, in reference form, everything the fidelity work needs — algorithm mechanics, every parameter value, the equations, the experimental setup and headline results — with section pointers back to the original document, and a mapping table from each paper claim to where (and whether) this codebase implements it.

Why digests and not full-text conversions: the originals are published, copyright-protected papers (Springer LNCS / IDSIA). We do not reproduce or vendor their full text or PDFs here; the digests carry the technical content in reference form with citations. Obtain the originals via the links in each digest.

How these digests are used

  • Parameter/formula verification tickets check the implementation against the digest and record the verdict on the issue (ADR-0013): #58 (parameter table), #70 (A2 formula/α — confirmed by the 2004 paper), #88 (T_hop value — not stated in the 2004 paper, thesis needed), #89 (jitter estimator — the 2004 paper uses the 99th-percentile delay, no explicit jitter formula; thesis needed).
  • The v1.0 compliance ledger (#91) links its "paper claim ↔ evidence" rows to the digests' mapping tables.
  • Known, deliberate deviations from the papers are listed in each digest's mapping table and cross-referenced from docs/porting-notes.md / CONTEXT.md §8.
