A minimum spanning tree (MST) with a small diameter is required in numerous practical situations. It is needed, for example, in distributed mutual exclusion algorithms in order to ...
A (directed) network of people connected by ratings or trust scores, and a model for propagating those trust scores, is a fundamental building block in many of today's most s...

Prior algorithms known for exactly solving Max 2-Sat improve upon the trivial upper bound only for very sparse instances. We present new algorithms for exactly solving (in fact, c...
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...
