With the proliferation of mobile technology and IT development, people can use social network services at any place and anytime. Among many social network mining problems, identifying cohesive subgraphs attract many attentions from…
Consensus is a most fundamental task in distributed computing. This paper studies the consensus problem for a set of processes connected by a dynamic directed network, in which computation and communication is lock-step synchronous but…
By prior work, it is known that any distributed graph algorithm that finds a maximal matching requires $\Omega(\log^* n)$ communication rounds, while it is possible to find a maximal fractional matching in $O(1)$ rounds in bounded-degree…
The problem of identifying the k-shortest paths (KSPs for short) in a dynamic road network is essential to many location-based services. Road networks are dynamic in the sense that the weights of the edges in the corresponding graph…
Dynamic programming is a powerful technique that is, unfortunately, often inherently sequential. That is, there exists no unified method to parallelize algorithms that use dynamic programming. In this paper, we attempt to address this issue…
The fully dynamic transitive closure problem asks to maintain reachability information in a directed graph between arbitrary pairs of vertices, while the graph undergoes a sequence of edge insertions and deletions. The problem has been…
The vertex coloring problem has received a lot of attention in the context of synchronous round-based systems where, at each round, a process can send a message to all its neighbors, and receive a message from each of them. Hence, this…
The CAP theorem asserts a trilemma between consistency, availability, and partition tolerance. This paper introduces a rigorous automata-theoretic and economically grounded framework that reframes the CAP trade-off as a constraint…
In this paper we consider a class of interacting particle systems on dynamic random networks, in which the joint dynamics of vertices and edges acts as one-way feedback, i.e., edges appear and disappear over time depending on the state of…
We investigate the dynamic formation of regular random graphs. In our model, we pick a pair of nodes at random and connect them with a link if both of their degrees are smaller than d. Starting with a set of isolated nodes, we repeat this…
We consider a problem where multiple agents must learn an action profile that maximises the sum of their utilities in a distributed manner. The agents are assumed to have no knowledge of either the utility functions or the actions and…
This paper considers the problem of solving a symmetric positive definite system of linear equations over a network of agents with arbitrary asynchronous interactions and membership dynamics. The latter implies that each agent is allowed to…
The semi-random graph process is a single player game in which the player is initially presented an empty graph on $n$ vertices. In each round, a vertex $u$ is presented to the player independently and uniformly at random. The player then…
In this paper, we consider a network of processors aiming at cooperatively solving mixed-integer convex programs subject to uncertainty. Each node only knows a common cost function and its local uncertain constraint set. We propose a…
We study graph realization problems from a distributed perspective and we study it in the node capacitated clique (NCC) model of distributed computing, recently introduced for representing peer-to-peer networks. We focus on two central…
Identifying the connected components of a graph, apart from being a fundamental problem with countless applications, is a key primitive for many other algorithms. In this paper, we consider this problem in parallel settings. Particularly,…
We prove that the exact versions of the domatic number problem are complete for the levels of the boolean hierarchy over NP. The domatic number problem, which arises in the area of computer networks, is the problem of partitioning a given…
In modern data center networks, thousands of hosts contend for shared link capacity; the scale of these systems makes centralized scheduling impractical. This article models such scheduling as a bipartite matching problem under…
Two kinds of approximation algorithms exist for the k-BALANCED PARTITIONING problem: those that are fast but compute unsatisfying approximation ratios, and those that guarantee high quality ratios but are slow. In this paper we prove that…
Here we present the entropic dynamics formalism for networks. That is, a framework for the dynamics of graphs meant to represent a network derived from the principle of maximum entropy and the rate of transition is obtained taking into…
