Brief announcement: self-assembly as graph grammar as distributed system
In 2004, Klavins et al. introduced the use of graph grammars to describe--and to program--systems of self-assembly. It turns out that these graph grammars can be embedded in a gra...

A distributed polylogarithmic time algorithm for self-stabilizing skip graphs
Peer-to-peer systems rely on scalable overlay networks that enable efficient routing between its members. Hypercubic topologies facilitate such operations while each node only nee...

Brief announcement: collaborative measurement of upload speeds in P2P systems
We define and study the bandwidth determination problem in adhoc P2P environments. Using point-to-point bandwidth probes, the goal is to quickly determine each host's upload ...

Routing without ordering
We analyze the correctness and complexity of two well-known routing algorithms, introduced by Gafni and Bertsekas (1981): By reversing the directions of some edges, these algorith...

Dynamic external hashing: the limit of buffering
Hash tables are one of the most fundamental data structures in computer science, in both theory and practice. They are especially useful in external memory, where their query perf...

A lightweight in-place implementation for software thread-level speculation
Thread-level speculation (TLS) is a technique that allows parts of a sequential program to be executed in parallel. TLS ensures the parallel program's behaviour remains true ...

An optimal local approximation algorithm for max-min linear programs
In a max-min LP, the objective is to maximise subject to Ax 1, Cx 1, and x 0 for nonnegative matrices A and C. We present a local algorithm (constant-time distributed algorith...
