Radio networks (RN) are distributed systems (\textit{ad hoc networks}) consisting in $n \ge 2$ radio stations. Assuming the number $n$ unknown, two distinct models of RN without collision detection (\textit{no-CD}) are addressed: the model…
We consider deterministic distributed communication in wireless ad hoc networks of identical weak devices under the SINR model without predefined infrastructure. Most algorithmic results in this model rely on various additional features or…
There are many distributed systems which use a leader in their logic. When such systems need to be fault tolerant and the current leader suffers a technical problem, it is necesary to apply a special algorithm in order to choose a new…
In this work we study the metric distortion problem in voting theory under a limited amount of ordinal information. Our primary contribution is threefold. First, we consider mechanisms which perform a sequence of pairwise comparisons…
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…
The leader election task calls for all nodes of a network to agree on a single node. If the nodes of the network are anonymous, the task of leader election is formulated as follows: every node $v$ of the network must output a simple path,…
We study the problem of optimal leader selection in consensus networks with noisy relative information. The objective is to identify the set of $k$ leaders that minimizes the formation's deviation from the desired trajectory established by…
We study the problem of optimal leader selection in consensus networks under two performance measures (1) formation coherence when subject to additive perturbations, as quantified by the steady-state variance of the deviation from the…
A team consisting of an unknown number of mobile agents, starting from different nodes of an unknown network, possibly at different times, have to meet at the same node. Agents are anonymous (identical), execute the same deterministic…
Motivated by the need for robust and fast distributed computation in highly dynamic Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, we study algorithms for the fundamental distributed agreement problem. P2P networks are highly dynamic networks that experience…
We provide the first quantum (exact) protocol for the Dining Philosophers problem (DP), a central problem in distributed algorithms. It is well known that the problem cannot be solved exactly in the classical setting. We then use our DP…
A radio network (RN) is a distributed system consisting of $n$ radio stations. We design and analyze two distributed leader election protocols in RN where the number $n$ of radio stations is unknown. The first algorithm runs under the…
We give a simple characterization of the functions that can be computed deterministically by anonymous processes in dynamic networks, depending on the number of leaders in the network. In addition, we provide efficient distributed…
In the advent of large-scale multi-hop wireless technologies, such as MANET, VANET, iThings, it is of utmost importance to devise efficient distributed protocols to maintain network architecture and provide basic communication tools. One of…
We consider the time and energy complexities of randomized leader election in a multiple-access channel, where the number of devices $n\geq 2$ is unknown. It is well-known that for polynomial-time randomized leader election algorithms with…
The paper considers the problem of a leader that seeks to optimally influence the opinions of agents in a directed network through connecting with a limited number of the agents ("direct followers"), possibly in the presence of a fixed…
Broadcast is one of the fundamental network communication primitives. One node of a network, called the $\mathit{source}$, has a message that has to be learned by all other nodes. We consider the feasibility of deterministic broadcast in…
The $\hybrid$ model was recently introduced by Augustine et al. \cite{DBLP:conf/soda/AugustineHKSS20} in order to characterize from an algorithmic standpoint the capabilities of networks which combine multiple communication modes.…
We provide a deterministic scheme for solving any decidable problem in the distributed {sleeping model}. The sleeping model is a generalization of the standard message-passing model, with an additional capability of network nodes to enter a…
We present a deterministic distributed algorithm that computes a $(2\Delta-1)$-edge-coloring, or even list-edge-coloring, in any $n$-node graph with maximum degree $\Delta$, in $O(\log^7 \Delta \log n)$ rounds. This answers one of the…
