A gossip protocol is a distributed communication paradigm inspired by the gossip
phenomenon that can be observed in social networks. Initially born to efficiently disseminate …

Gossip-based protocols are commonly used for diffusing information in large-scale
distributed applications. GO (Gossip Objects) is a per-node gossip platform that we …

We develop an analytical model of information dissemination for a gossiping protocol that
combines both pull and push approaches. With this model we analyse how fast an item is …

Gossip, or epidemic, protocols have emerged as a powerful strategy to implement highly
scalable and resilient reliable broadcast primitives. Due to scalability reasons, each …

This dissertation is based on my work related to gossip protocols that solve various
problems in massively distributed large scale networks. Resisting the temptation to present …

Gossip protocols are simple, robust and scalable and have been consistently applied to
many (mostly wired) distributed systems. Nevertheless, most validation in this area has been …

In the era of Internet-scale applications, an increasing number of services are distributed
over pools of thousands to millions of networked computers. Along with the obvious …

Gossip protocols have been shown to be a useful tool in the development of simple, robust,
and efficient distributed systems. This thesis addresses a number of problems associated …

During coffee breaks, birthday parties, and even sometimes at business meetings, gossiping
is a common acitivity in which most people kindly engage. Gossiping forms one of the oldest …

We present an analytical framework for gossip protocols based on the pair wise information
exchange between interacting nodes. This framework allows for studying the impact of …
