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…

A line-broadcasting model in a connected graph $G=(V,E)$, $|V|=n$, is a model in which one vertex, called the {\it originator} of the broadcast holds a message that has to be transmitted to all vertices of the graph through placement of a…

We study distributed broadcasting protocols with few transmissions (`shots') in radio networks where the topology is unknown. In particular, we examine the case in which a bound $k$ is given and a node may transmit at most $k$ times during…

We introduce a temporal Steiner network problem in which a graph, as well as changes to its edges and/or vertices over a set of discrete times, are given as input; the goal is to find a minimal subgraph satisfying a set of $k$…
