We consider the problem of forming a distributed queue in the adversarial dynamic network model of Kuhn, Lynch, and Oshman (STOC 2010) in which the network topology changes from round to round but the network stays connected. This is a…
This paper develops a feedback-based method to preserve the topology privacy of consensus protocols in network systems. The key idea is to intentionally violate topology identifiability conditions, thereby preventing unique or accurate…
We consider a crucial aspect of self-organization of a sensor network consisting of a large set of simple sensor nodes with no location hardware and only very limited communication range. After having been distributed randomly in a given…
In decentralized optimization, nodes cooperate to minimize an overall objective function that is the sum (or average) of per-node private objective functions. Algorithms interleave local computations with communication among all or a subset…
Resource allocation in distributed and networked systems such as the Cloud is becoming increasingly flexible, allowing these systems to dynamically adjust toward the workloads they serve, in a demand-aware manner. Online balanced…
Revealing the structural features of a complex system from the observed collective dynamics is a fundamental problem in network science. In order to compute the various topological descriptors commonly used to characterize the structure of…
In this article we present an algorithm to compute bounds on the marginals of a graphical model. For several small clusters of nodes upper and lower bounds on the marginal values are computed independently of the rest of the network. The…
Seeking effective neural networks is a critical and practical field in deep learning. Besides designing the depth, type of convolution, normalization, and nonlinearities, the topological connectivity of neural networks is also important.…

The parallel computational complexity or depth of growing network models is investigated. The networks considered are generated by preferential attachment rules where the probability of attaching a new node to an existing node is given by a…
This paper introduces a declarative framework to specify and reason about distributions of data over computing nodes in a distributed setting. More specifically, it proposes distribution constraints which are tuple and equality generating…
We provide upper bounds on the end-to-end backlog and delay in a network with heavy-tailed and self-similar traffic. The analysis follows a network calculus approach where traffic is characterized by envelope functions and service is…
In geographically-distributed systems, communication latencies are non-negligible. The perceived processing time of a request is thus composed of the time needed to route the request to the server and the true processing time. Once a…
We study network response to queries that require computation of remotely located data and seek to characterize the performance limits in terms of maximum sustainable query rate that can be satisfied. The available resources include (i) a…
Recent works on bounding the output size of a conjunctive query with functional dependencies and degree constraints have shown a deep connection between fundamental questions in information theory and database theory. We prove analogous…
Cut-set bounds on achievable rates for network communication protocols are not in general tight. In this paper we introduce a new technique for proving converses for the problem of transmission of correlated sources in networks, that…
The degree distribution of a graph $G=(V,E)$, $|V|=n$, $|E|=m$ is one of the most fundamental objects of study in the analysis of graphs as it embodies relationship among entities. In particular, an important derived distribution from…
We consider the message complexity of verifying whether a given subgraph of the communication network forms a tree with specific properties both in the KT-$\rho$ (nodes know their $\rho$-hop neighborhood, including node IDs) and the KT-$0$…
Neural conversation models tend to generate safe, generic responses for most inputs. This is due to the limitations of likelihood-based decoding objectives in generation tasks with diverse outputs, such as conversation. To address this…
In the distributed triangle detection problem, we have an $n$-vertex network $G=(V,E)$ with one player for each vertex of the graph who sees the edges incident on the vertex. The players communicate in synchronous rounds using the edges of…
