We consider minimum time multicasting problems in directed and undirected graphs: given a root node and a subset of $t$ terminal nodes, multicasting seeks to find the minimum number of rounds within which all terminals can be informed with…
We study gossip algorithms for the fundamental rumor spreading problem, where the goal is to disseminate a rumor from a given source node to all nodes in an arbitrary (and unknown) graph. Gossip algorithms allow each node to call only one…
Information dissemination is a fundamental problem in parallel and distributed computing. In its simplest variant, the broadcasting problem, a message has to be spread among all nodes of a graph. A prominent communication protocol for this…
We focus on the well-studied problem of distributed overlay network construction. We consider a synchronous gossip-based communication model where in each round a node can send a message of small size to another node whose identifier it…
Gossip and in particular network coded algebraic gossip have recently attracted attention as a fast, bandwidth-efficient, reliable and distributed way to broadcast or multicast multiple messages. While the algorithms are simple, involved…
A widely studied problem in communication networks is that of finding the maximum number of communication requests that can be scheduled concurrently, subject to node and/or link capacity constraints. In this paper, we consider the problem…
We study gossip algorithms for the rumor spreading problem which asks one node to deliver a rumor to all nodes in an unknown network. We present the first protocol for any expander graph $G$ with $n$ nodes such that, the protocol informs…
Gossip algorithms have recently received significant attention, mainly because they constitute simple and robust message-passing schemes for distributed information processing over networks. However for many topologies that are realistic…
We study the multi-broadcast problem in multi-hop wireless networks under the SINR model deployed in the 2D Euclidean plane. In multi-broadcast, there are $k$ initial rumours, potentially belonging to different nodes, that must be forwarded…

We study a general framework for broadcast gossip algorithms which use companion variables to solve the average consensus problem. Each node maintains an initial state and a companion variable. Iterative updates are performed asynchronously…
We study distributed methods for online prediction and stochastic optimization. Our approach is iterative: in each round nodes first perform local computations and then communicate in order to aggregate information and synchronize their…
We study the store-and-forward packet routing problem for simultaneous multicasts, in which multiple packets have to be forwarded along given trees as fast as possible. This is a natural generalization of the seminal work of Leighton, Maggs…

The index coding problem is concerned with broadcasting encoded information to a collection of receivers in a way that enables each receiver to discover its required data based on its side information, which comprises the data required by…
