We consider gossiping in a fully-connected wireless network consisting of $n$ nodes. The network receives Poisson updates from a source, which generates new information. The nodes gossip their available information with the neighboring…
Gossip algorithms have recently received significant attention, mainly because they constitute simple and robust message-passing schemes for distributed information processing over networks. However for many topologies that are realistic…
Gossip protocols aim at arriving, by means of point-to-point or group communications, at a situation in which all the agents know each other's secrets. We consider distributed gossip protocols which are expressed by means of epistemic…
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…
We study different mechanisms of gossip propagation on several network topologies and introduce a new network property, the "spread factor", describing the fraction of neighbors that get to know the gossip. We postulate that for scale-free…
Gossip and in particular network coded algebraic gossip have recently attracted attention as a fast, bandwidth-efficient, reliable and distributed way to broadcast or multicast multiple messages. While the algorithms are simple, involved…
We consider a gossip network consisting of a source generating updates and $n$ nodes connected in a two-dimensional square grid. The source keeps updates of a process, that might be generated or observed, and shares them with the grid…
Gossip monoids form an algebraic model of networks with exclusive, transient connections in which nodes, when they form a connection, exchange all known information. They also arise naturally in pure mathematics, as the monoids generated by…
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 consider information dissemination over a network of gossiping agents (nodes). In this model, a source keeps the most up-to-date information about a time-varying binary state of the world, and $n$ receiver nodes want to follow the…
We focus on the well-studied problem of distributed overlay network construction. We consider a synchronous gossip-based communication model where in each round a node can send a message of small size to another node whose identifier it…
Gossip algorithms are attractive for in-network processing in sensor networks because they do not require any specialized routing, there is no bottleneck or single point of failure, and they are robust to unreliable wireless network…
In the IoT era, information is more and more frequently picked up by connected smart sensors with increasing, though limited, storage, communication and computation abilities. Whether due to privacy constraints or to the structure of the…
This paper gives drastically faster gossip algorithms to compute exact and approximate quantiles. Gossip algorithms, which allow each node to contact a uniformly random other node in each round, have been intensely studied and been adopted…
A source node updates its status as a point process and also forwards its updates to a network of observer nodes. Within the network of observers, these updates are forwarded as point processes from node to node. Each node wishes its…
We consider a gossip network consisting of a source forwarding updates and $n$ nodes placed geometrically in a ring formation. Each node gossips with $f(n)$ nodes on either side, thus communicating with $2f(n)$ nodes in total. $f(n)$ is a…
Reputation aggregation in peer to peer networks is generally a very time and resource consuming process. Moreover, most of the methods consider that a node will have same reputation with all the nodes in the network, which is not true. This…
In this paper, we study random gossip processes in communication models that describe the peer-to-peer networking functionality included in standard smartphone operating systems. Random gossip processes spread information through the basic…
This paper considers the average consensus problem on a network of digital links, and proposes a set of algorithms based on pairwise ''gossip'' communications and updates. We study the convergence properties of such algorithms with the goal…
Gossip protocols are popular methods for average consensus problems in distributed computing. We prove new convergence guarantees for a variety of such protocols, including path, clique, and synchronous pairwise gossip. These arise by…
