We study the gossip problem in a message-passing environment: When a process receives a message, it has to decide whether the sender has more recent information on other processes than itself. This problem is at the heart of many…

We investigate self-correcting gossip protocols with errors. In distributed computing, protocols with errors have been widely investigated in temporal epistemic logics. Instead, we propose a dynamic epistemic logic. We show how to correct…

Many ad hoc routing protocols are based on some variant of flooding. Despite various optimizations, many routing messages are propagated unnecessarily. We propose a gossiping-based approach, where each node forwards a message with some…

We design and analyze gossip algorithms for networks with correlated data. In these networks, either the data to be distributed, the data already available at the nodes, or both, are correlated. This model is applicable for a variety of…

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…

Gossip protocols are widely used to disseminate information in massive peer-to-peer networks. These protocols are often claimed to guarantee privacy because of the uncertainty they introduce on the node that started the dissemination. But…

We investigate how suitable a weighted network is for gossip spreading. The proposed model is based on the gossip spreading model introduced by Lind et.al. on unweighted networks. Weight represents "friendship." Potential spreader prefers…
