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 $k$…
The Min Energy broadcast problem consists in assigning transmission ranges to the nodes of an ad-hoc network in order to guarantee a directed spanning tree from a given source node and, at the same time, to minimize the energy consumption…

We consider the classic problem of Network Reliability. A network is given together with a source vertex, one or more target vertices, and probabilities assigned to each of the edges. Each edge appears in the network with its associated…
A broadcast on a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a function $f: V\longrightarrow \{0,\ldots,\operatorname{diam}(G)\}$ such that $f(v)\leq e\_G(v)$ for every vertex $v\in V$, where$\operatorname{diam}(G)$ denotes the diameter of $G$ and $e\_G(v)$ the…
The data broadcast problem is to find a schedule for broadcasting a given set of messages over multiple channels. The goal is to minimize the cost of the broadcast plus the expected response time to clients who periodically and…
Broadcast domination assigns a nonnegative integer power to every vertex of a graph so that every vertex is within the assigned power of some broadcasting vertex, and the objective is to minimize the sum of the powers. Heggernes and…
Graph burning is a discrete-time process that models the propagation of information in a network. Initially, we have an undirected graph of unburned vertices. At each time step, an unburned vertex is chosen to burn; additionally, unburned…
In the Telephone Broadcast problem we are given a graph $G=(V,E)$ with a designated source vertex $s\in V$. Our goal is to transmit a message, which is initially known only to $s$, to all vertices of the graph by using a process where in…

We study a generalization of the well-known model of broadcasting on trees. Consider a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with a unique source vertex $X$, and suppose all other vertices have indegree $d\geq 2$. Let the vertices at distance $k$…
We revisit the classic broadcast problem, wherein we have $k$ messages, each composed of $O(\log{n})$ bits, distributed arbitrarily across a network. The objective is to broadcast these messages to all nodes in the network. In the…
We consider a scenario of broadcasting information over a network of nodes connected by noiseless communication links. A source node in the network has some data packets to broadcast. It encodes these data packets into $n$ coded packets in…
