Tight bounds on information dissemination in sparse mobile networks

A Pettarin, A Pietracaprina, G Pucci… - Proceedings of the 30th …, 2011 - dl.acm.org
Motivated by the growing interest in mobile systems, we study the dynamics of information
dissemination between agents moving independently on a plane. Formally, we consider k …

Information Dissemination via Random Walks in d-Dimensional Space

H Lam, Z Liu, M Mitzenmacher, X Sun, Y Wang - Proceedings of the Twenty …, 2012 - SIAM
We study a natural information dissemination problem for multiple mobile agents in a
