Broadcasting and gossiping are fundamental communication tasks in networks. In broadcasting,one node of a network has a message that must be learned by all other nodes. In gossiping, every node has a (possibly different) message, and all…

We study the classical rumor spreading problem, which is used to spread information in an unknown network with $n$ nodes. We present the first protocol for any expander graph $G$ with $n$ nodes and minimum degree $\Theta(n)$ such that, the…

In this paper, we derive the asymptotic distribution of the number of copies of a fixed graph $H$ in a random graph $G_n$ sampled from a sparse graphon model. Specifically, we provide a refined analysis that separates the contributions of…

We propose consensus propagation, an asynchronous distributed protocol for averaging numbers across a network. We establish convergence, characterize the convergence rate for regular graphs, and demonstrate that the protocol exhibits better…

We consider a decentralized optimization problem, in which $n$ nodes collaborate to optimize a global objective function using local communications only. While many decentralized algorithms focus on \emph{gossip} communications (pairwise…

Gossip algorithms is a common term to describe protocols for unreliable information dissemination in natural networks, which are not optimally designed for efficient communication between network entities. We consider application of gossip…

We consider a communication system where a group of users, interconnected in a bidirectional gossip network, wishes to follow a time-varying source, e.g., updates on an event, in real-time. The users wish to maintain their expected version…

This paper analyzes the adoption of unstructured P2P overlay networks to build publish-subscribe systems. We consider a very simple distributed communication protocol, based on gossip and on the local knowledge each node has about…

The problem of network-constrained averaging is to compute the average of a set of values distributed throughout a graph G using an algorithm that can pass messages only along graph edges. We study this problem in the noisy setting, in…

Viral information like rumors or fake news is spread over a communication network like a virus infection in a unidirectional manner: entity $i$ conveys information to a neighbor $j$, resulting in two equally informed (infected) parties.…

While distributed learning offers a new learning paradigm for distributed network with no central coordination, it is constrained by communication bottleneck between nodes. We develop a new event-triggered gossip framework for distributed…

Push-Pull is a well-studied round-robin rumor spreading protocol defined as follows: initially a node knows a rumor and wants to spread it to all nodes in a network quickly. In each round, every informed node sends the rumor to a random…
