We revisit the classic broadcast problem, wherein we have $k$ messages, each composed of $O(\log{n})$ bits, distributed arbitrarily across a network. The objective is to broadcast these messages to all nodes in the network. In the…

Partitioning graphs into blocks of roughly equal size is widely used when processing large graphs. Currently there is a gap in the space of available partitioning algorithms. On the one hand, there are streaming algorithms that have been…

In the Properly Colored Spanning Tree problem, we are given an edge-colored undirected graph and the goal is to find a properly colored spanning tree, i.e., a spanning tree in which any two adjacent edges have distinct colors. The problem…
The congested clique is a synchronous, message-passing model of distributed computing in which each computational unit (node) in each round can send message of O(log n) bits to each other node of the network, where n is the number of nodes.…
The network coding problem asks whether data throughput in a network can be increased using coding (compared to treating bits as commodities in a flow). While it is well-known that a network coding advantage exists in directed graphs, the…

We introduce and study the general problem of finding a most "scale-free-like" spanning tree of a connected graph. It is motivated by a particular problem in epidemiology, and may be useful in studies of various dynamical processes in…
In this paper we consider several content delivery problems (broadcast and multicast, in particular) in some restricted types of distributed systems (e.g. optical Grids and wireless sensor networks with tree-like topologies). For each…
In wireless networks, consisting of battery-powered devices, energy is a costly resource and most of it is spent on transmitting and receiving messages. Broadcast is a problem where a message needs to be transmitted from one node to all…
We address the problem of building and maintaining distributed spanning trees in highly dynamic networks, in which topological events can occur at any time and any rate, and no stable periods can be assumed. In these harsh environments, we…
Many well-known, real-world problems involve dynamic data which describe the relationship among the entities. Hypergraphs are powerful combinatorial structures that are frequently used to model such data. For many of today's data-centric…
