This paper focuses on showing time-message trade-offs in distributed algorithms for fundamental problems such as leader election, broadcast, spanning tree (ST), minimum spanning tree (MST), minimum cut, and many graph verification problems.…

We propose a new algorithm for k-means clustering in a distributed setting, where the data is distributed across many machines, and a coordinator communicates with these machines to calculate the output clustering. Our algorithm guarantees…

Memory-(in)efficiency is a crucial consideration that oftentimes prevents deployment of state-of-the-art distributed algorithms in real-life modern networks. In the context of the MST problem, roughly speaking, there are three types of…

We consider the problem of clustering graph nodes over large-scale dynamic graphs, such as citation networks, images and web networks, when graph updates such as node/edge insertions/deletions are observed distributively. We propose…

This paper proposes a fully distributed termination method for distributed optimization algorithms solved by multiple agents. The proposed method guarantees terminating a distributed optimization algorithm after satisfying the global…

We study shared processor scheduling of $\textit{multiprocessor}$ weighted jobs where each job can be executed on its private processor and simultaneously on possibly $\textit{many}$ processors shared by all jobs in order to reduce their…

This paper addresses the problem of distributed detection in fixed and switching networks. A network of agents observe partially informative signals about the unknown state of the world. Hence, they collaborate with each other to identify…

In this paper, we address the problem of designing a distributed application meant to run both classical and asynchronous iterations. MPI libraries are very popular and widely used in the scientific community, however asynchronous iterative…

In the era of big data, one of the key challenges is the development of novel optimization algorithms that can accommodate vast amounts of data while at the same time satisfying constraints and limitations of the problem under study. The…

We study the scalability of consensus-based distributed optimization algorithms by considering two questions: How many processors should we use for a given problem, and how often should they communicate when communication is not free?…

In $k$-ported message-passing systems, a processor can simultaneously receive $k$ different messages from $k$ other processors, and send $k$ different messages to $k$ other processors that may or may not be different from the processors…

MPI uses the concept of communicators to connect groups of processes. It provides nonblocking collective operations on communicators to overlap communication and computation. Flexible algorithms demand flexible communicators. E.g., a…

The efficient parallel execution of complex computations requires balancing the workload across processors while minimizing the communication between them. This inherent trade-off is often captured by graph partitioning or DAG scheduling…

Multiple Constant Multiplication (MCM) over integers is a frequent operation arising in embedded systems that require highly optimized hardware. An efficient way is to replace costly generic multiplication by bit-shifts and additions, i.e.…

Consider the classical problem of information dissemination: one (or more) nodes in a network have some information that they want to distribute to the remainder of the network. In this paper, we study the cost of information dissemination…

We propose a novel exact algorithm for the transportation problem, one of the paradigmatic network optimization problems. The algorithm, denoted Iterated Inside Out, requires in input a basic feasible solution and is composed by two main…

Line planning in public transport is the strategic problem of selecting lines and their operating frequencies. This problem is important as it defines the passenger service, based on available connections and expected travel times, and…

To cope with fast-fluctuating distributed energy resources (DERs) and uncontrolled loads, this paper formulates a time-varying optimization problem for distribution grids with DERs and develops a novel non-iterative algorithm to track the…

This paper presents a robust adaptive learning Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework for linear systems with parametric uncertainties and additive disturbances performing iterative tasks. The approach refines the parameter estimates…

A fundamental problem in wireless networks is the \emph{minimum spanning tree} (MST) problem: given a set $V$ of wireless nodes, compute a spanning tree $T$, so that the total cost of $T$ is minimized. In recent years, there has been a lot…
