Maximal Independent Set (MIS) is one of the fundamental and most well-studied problems in distributed graph algorithms. Even after four decades of intensive research, the best-known (randomized) MIS algorithms have $O(\log{n})$ round…

We consider networks of processes which interact with beeps. In the basic model defined by Cornejo and Kuhn, which we refer to as the $BL$ variant, processes can choose in each round either to beep or to listen. Those who beep are unable to…

For input $x$, let $F(x)$ denote the set of outputs that are the "legal" answers for a computational problem $F$. Suppose $x$ and members of $F(x)$ are so large that there is not time to read them in their entirety. We propose a model of…
In graph theory, an independent set is a subset of nodes where there are no two adjacent nodes. The independent set is maximal if no node outside the independent set can join it. In network applications, maximal independent sets can be used…
