Beeping a maximal independent set

Y Afek, N Alon, Z Bar-Joseph, A Cornejo… - Distributed …, 2013 - Springer
We consider the problem of computing a maximal independent set (MIS) in an extremely
harsh broadcast model that relies only on carrier sensing. The model consists of an …

Quantum pricing-based column-generation framework for hard combinatorial problems

W da Silva Coelho, L Henriet, LP Henry - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
In this work we present a complete hybrid classical-quantum algorithm involving a quantum
sampler based on neutral-atom platforms. This approach is inspired by classical column …

Stone age distributed computing

Y Emek, R Wattenhofer - Proceedings of the 2013 ACM symposium on …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
A new model that depicts a network of randomized finite state machines operating in an
asynchronous environment is introduced. This model, that can be viewed as a hybrid of the …

Coordinating amoebots via reconfigurable circuits

M Feldmann, A Padalkin, C Scheideler… - Journal of …, 2022 - liebertpub.com
We consider an extension to the geometric amoebot model that allows amoebots to form so-
called circuits. Given a connected amoebot structure, a circuit is a subgraph formed by the …

Exponential separations in the energy complexity of leader election

YJ Chang, T Kopelowitz, S Pettie, R Wang… - ACM Transactions on …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
Energy is often the most constrained resource for battery-powered wireless devices, and
most of the energy is often spent on transceiver usage (ie, transmitting and receiving …

Near optimal leader election in multi-hop radio networks

M Ghaffari, B Haeupler - Proceedings of the twenty-fourth annual ACM-SIAM …, 2013 - SIAM
We design leader election protocols for multi-hop radio networks that elect a leader in
almost the same time TBC that it takes for broadcasting one message (one ID). For the …

Weak models of distributed computing, with connections to modal logic

L Hella, M Järvisalo, A Kuusisto, J Laurinharju… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - dl.acm.org
This work presents a classification of weak models of distributed computing. We focus on
deterministic distributed algorithms, and we study models of computing that are weaker …

A distributed palette sparsification theorem

M Flin, M Ghaffari, MM Halldórsson, F Kuhn… - Proceedings of the 2024 …, 2024 - SIAM
The celebrated palette sparsification result of [Assadi, Chen, and Khanna SODA'19] shows
that to compute a Δ+ 1 coloring of the graph, where Δ denotes the maximum degree, it …

Distributed MIS via all-to-all communication

M Ghaffari - Proceedings of the ACM symposium on principles of …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
Computing a Maximal Independent Set (MIS) is a central problem in distributed graph
algorithms. This paper presents an improved randomized distributed algorithm for …
