Flooding is among the simplest and most fundamental of all distributed network algorithms. A node begins the process by sending a message to all its neighbours and the neighbours, in the next round forward the message to all the neighbours…
In this work we extend the recently proposed synchronous broadcast algorithm amnesiac flooding to the case of intermittent communication channels. In amnesiac flooding a node forwards a received message in the subsequent round. There are…
Broadcast is a central problem in distributed computing. Recently, Hussak and Trehan [PODC'19/DC'23] proposed a stateless broadcasting protocol (Amnesiac Flooding), which was surprisingly proven to terminate in asymptotically optimal time…
Basic synchronous flooding proceeds in rounds. Given a finite undirected (network) graph $G$, a set of sources $I \subseteq G$ initiate flooding in the first round by every node in $I$ sending the same message to all of its neighbours. In…
We present a comprehensive analysis of Round-Delayed Amnesiac Flooding (RDAF), a variant of Amnesiac Flooding that introduces round-based asynchrony through adversarial delays. We establish fundamental properties of RDAF, including…
We consider a Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANET) formed by "n" nodes that move independently at random over a finite square region of the plane. Nodes exchange data if they are at distance at most "r" within each other, where r>0 is the node…
Most Graph Neural Networks follow the standard message-passing framework where, in each step, all nodes simultaneously communicate with each other. We want to challenge this paradigm by aligning the computation more closely to the execution…
In this paper we propose distributed flooding-based storage algorithms for large-scale wireless sensor networks. Assume a wireless sensor network with $n$ nodes that have limited power, memory, and bandwidth. Each node is capable of both…
We study networks of processes that all execute the same finite state protocol and that communicate through broadcasts. The processes are organized in a graph (a topology) and only the neighbors of a process in this graph can receive its…
This work considers a layered coding approach for efficient transmission of data over a wireless block fading channel without transmitter channel state information (CSI), which is connected to a limited capacity reliable link, known as the…
We consider a Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) formed by n agents that move at speed V according to the Manhattan Random-Way Point model over a square region of side length L. The resulting stationary (agent) spatial probability distribution…
In this paper, a new routing algorithm based on a flooding method is introduced. Flooding techniques have been used previously, e.g. for broadcasting the routing table in the ARPAnet [1] and other special purpose networks [3][4][5].…
In broadcasting, one node of a network has a message that must be learned by all other nodes. We study deterministic algorithms for this fundamental communication task in a very weak model of wireless communication. The only signals sent by…
We study the problem of disseminating a piece of information through all the nodes of a network, given that it is known originally only to a single node. In the absence of any structural knowledge on the network other than the nodes'…
In this paper, we present a distributed algorithm which implements the $k$-means algorithm in a distributed fashion for multi-agent systems with directed communication links. The goal of $k$-means is to partition the network's agents in…
We revisit the classic problem of spreading a piece of information in a group of $n$ fully connected processors. By suitably adding a small dose of randomness to the protocol of Gasienic and Pelc (1996), we derive for the first time…
A number of stations, independently activated over time, is able to communicate by transmitting and listening to a shared channel in discrete time slots, and a message is successfully delivered to all stations if and only if its source…
We study the information spreading yielded by the \emph{(Parsimonious) $1$-Flooding Protocol} in geometric Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks. We consider $n$ agents on a convex plane region of diameter $D$ performing independent random walks with move…
In this work we address the question of efficiency of distributed computing in anonymous, congested and highly dynamic and not-always-connected networks/systems. More precisely, the system consists of an unknown number of anonymous nodes…
Consider that $u_0$ nodes are aware of some piece of data $d_0$. This note derives the expected time required for the data $d_0$ to be disseminated through-out a network of $n$ nodes, when communication between nodes evolves according to a…
