Theoretical distributed computing meets biology: A review

O Feinerman, A Korman - International Conference on Distributed …, 2013 - Springer
In recent years, several works have demonstrated how the study of biology can benefit from
an algorithmic perspective. Since biological systems are often distributed in nature, this …

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 …

Aquila, an analog quantum simulation platform developed by QuEra Computing, supports
control of the position and coherent evolution of up to 256 neutral atoms. This study details …

Many sequential iterative algorithms can be parallel and (nearly) work-efficient

Z Shen, Z Wan, Y Gu, Y Sun - Proceedings of the 34th ACM Symposium …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Some recent papers showed that many sequential iterative algorithms can be directly
parallelized, by identifying the dependences between the input objects. This approach …

Rounds vs. Communication Tradeoffs for Maximal Independent Sets

S Assadi, G Kol, Z Zhang - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2024 - SIAM
We consider the problem of finding a maximal independent set (MIS) in the shared
blackboard communication model with vertex-partitioned inputs. There are players …

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 …

Sleeping is Efficient: MIS in O(1)-rounds Node-averaged Awake Complexity

S Chatterjee, R Gmyr, G Pandurangan - Proceedings of the 39th …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
Maximal Independent Set (MIS) is one of the fundamental problems in distributed
computing. The round (time) complexity of distributed MIS has traditionally focused on the …

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 …
